The World is Too Much With Us

Ben Stein
by

Here’s a thought piece of mine at the University of Mobile’s Center for Leadership. I’ll give away the ending:

So many problems, so little time. The world is too much with us. We know, however, that if we don’t get started by tackling at least one task at a time, the tasks, and problems, will pile up even more urgently. The problems and controversies right now, as indicated above, seem daunting. But even if sometimes a person doesn’t know what to write, we must choose something, so that those of us who value liberty, order and age-old truths can begin to win some of the battles.

But how I got there, in a meandering way, might be of interest.
