A WARNING TO THE READER

C.D. Evans is an outspoken contrarian and iconoclast. His writing makes no concession at all to what is promulgated by gross vulgarians as "popular taste" and by ignorantia as "right thinking." Further, Evans has no time for the ideologues, the ideologies, or the orthodoxies of either the far loony left or the far repressive right. Each proceeds initially in opposite directions on the circumference of the Big Mandala until extreme left meets extreme right at the same place: the totalitarian oligarchy, epicentre of all that ails the world.

Worthy of restatement are the following:

" One of the characteristics of modern readers is that none of them take anything on trust simply because someone in authority has told them so."

- Keith Windschuttle, The Killing of History

" But whenever we see things done wildly, but taken tamely, then the State is going insane. ..... [W]hen [nations] give birth to a fantastic fashion or a foolish law, they do not start or stare at the monster they have brought forth. They have grown used to their own unreason; chaos is their cosmos; and the whirlwind is the breath of their nostrils. These nations are really in danger of going off their heads en masse; of becoming one vast vision of imbecility, with toppling cities and crazy countrysides, all dotted with industrious lunatics."

- G.K. Chesterton
