The ASBCA decision discusses those points and, golf hats for men in the main, refutes them. The vast majority of questioned (and disallowed) costs was found to have been properly billed by KBR. The decision did not discuss the fairness of simply not paying invoices for nearly eight years but, given the fact that the COFD was rejected in nearly all respects, we have to ask whether that reflected well on the Navy and its administrative team. The lesson here, for government folks, may be that ringing the alarm bell over a DCAA audit report is not always warranted. In fact, COs are required to be independent adjudicators of disputes between DCAA and contractors. (But we digress.)

One's class status could be goorin bros hats just, levelers assert, only if each person somehow "chose" his own ancestors (as Bertrand Russell once quipped). Membership in the upper class cannot be considered a just reward, since none of us are responsible for the circumstances of our hat bands birth. Thus, levelers of the liberal persuasion insist that the only just society is a meritocratic one, in which individuals are sorted into echelons based on their individual characteristics talent, character, individual achievement, and so on.

T o grasp Eliot's point, we must first understand precisely what he means by "culture." Professional anthropologists typically define culture in such a way that every group of human beings has a culture, in the sense of a pattern of interrelated activities. Eliot hat patches defined culture more narrowly: A culture is a deeper way of life, the incarnation of a shared religion, coming in more or less conscious forms. The culture of a people is always a particular incarnation, in a particular place and time, of a universal (or nearly universal) religion.

Eliot's definition of culture as incarnate religion creates the possibility of anti-culture . A purely secular, nonreligious society would lack a culture in Eliot's sense. So, too, would a society that had successfully privatized religion, so that its religion, insofar as it could be incarnate at all, was incarnate only at the level of individual lives. Finally, a society whose dominant religion is gnostic would also be anti-cultural. By "gnostic religion" I mean a religion or quasi-religion that rejects the very possibility of its being incarnate knitted hat patterns in this world and in this age.

A philosophy such as Marxism or modern liberalism, which rejects existing social institutions and advocates their total replacement, is likewise anti-cultural, in Eliot's sense (at least, until the eschaton is successfully immanentized).High culture is the rearticulation of folk culture at a more conscious and reflective level. High culture is more changeable than folk culture, and yet its best products are at least as enduring as folk culture. Elite anti-culture needs culture to do just that, to level, and so it favors ironic, ideological, and [img]https://www.hannibaltvshow.com/images/u/knitted hat patterns-490wvd.jpg[/img] adversarial art (­created and supported by a leveling elite).
