Ekstremindividualismen: I kjølvannet av stortingsvalget er det interessant å merke seg at en borgerlig, konservativ kurs for landet innebærer et klart verdivalg. Mediene snakker om en konservativ renessanse preget av sterke konservative stemmer i offentligheten. Vi får se hva dette innebærer fremover, men trenden innebærer isåfall en større vekt på de opprinnelig kristne kulturverdiene som humanismens fremvekst på 1800-tallet …
