In "What We Believe" (page 58), Peter Bagge casts a gimlet eye on how Americans' susceptibility to hysterias dovetails neatly with a loss of faith in the Bill of Rights. His previous works have been earnest attempts to deflate what he sees as statistically warped hysterias about the prevalence of serial murder, of pedophilia by priests, and of designer drugs. By x-raying the official heroic euphemisms and pieties of war cenotaphs and cemeteries--which are, in Fussell's words, partly the consequence of "the hysterias of runaway nationalism"--an alternative truth reveals itself. |
