heritage

It is a time to celebrate their special form of democracy as well as their cultural heritage, with each age group taking the opportunity to wear their different traditional outfits.

“Those responsible have destroyed an irreplaceable part of our national cultural heritage,” Bishop Field Manager Sherri Lisius with the Bureau of Land Management said in a statement.

They pulled the entire controversial heritage of the America First Society out of some dusty old trunk, glazed it with John Birch paranoia and sprinkled it with Pat Buchanan's isolationist "stay out of Europe" takes.

It was an audacious proposal, very much in the spirit of the time: London, the forward-thinking, modern city, not just promoting its heritage but looking to the future.

That reflects, in large part, the Enlightenment heritage of Western democracy — but it turns out that facts are largely useless in this context.
