A Free People’s Suicide: Sustainable Freedom and the American Future. By Os Guinness. Downers Grover, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2012. Google Books. Rush quotes from p. 29.

Once again, freedom without virtue, leadership without character, business without trust, law without customs, education without meaning and medicine, science and technology without human considerations can end only in disaster.
