The Lesson Of Our Time

From Francis Beckwith's recent post on the death of porn star Marilyn Chambers:

We live in an age in which we know precisely what recycle bin our newsprint and soda bottles belong. But we have no idea what a human being is, what it’s supposed to do, or who or what it is permissible to sleep with. So, this is the lesson of our time: the “good” man is the one who treats his garbage with greater care than his own soul.

Echoes of Chesterton there, no? Entirely fitting, given the title of the blog.
