One principle that today’s intellectuals most passionately disseminate is vulgar relativism. For them it is certain that there is no truth, only opinion: my opinion, your opinion. They abandon the defense of the intellect; those who surrender the domain of the intellect make straight the road to fascism. Totalitarianism is the will-to-power unchecked by any regard for truth. To surrender the claims of truth upon humans is to surrender Earth to thugs. Vulgar relativism is an invisible gas, odorless, deadly that is now polluting every free society on earth. It is a gas that attacks the central nervous system of moral striving. “There is no such thing as truth,” they teach even the little ones. “Truth is bondage. Believe what seems right to you. There are many truths as there are (many) individuals. Follow your feelings. Do as you please. Get in touch with yourself.” Those who speak in this way prepare the jail of the twenty-first century. They do the work of tyrants.

INGREDIENTS

2		Egg
2	c	Flour
1 1/2	c	Skim milk
2	tb	Packed brown sugar; or granulated
4	tb	Vegetable oil
3	ts	Baking powder
3/4	ts	Baking soda
1 1/2	ts	Cream of tartar
1/2	ts	Salt
		Vegetable oil for cooking

INSTRUCTIONS

Beat eggs with hand beater in large bowl until fluffy. Beat in remaining
ingredients except vegetable oil for cooking, until smooth (beat by hand).
For thinner pancakes, stir in additional 1 - 2 tablespoons milk. Heat
griddle or skillet over medium heat or to 375. Grease griddle with oil if
necessary. Pour batter onto hot griddle. Cook pancakes until puffed and dry
around edges. Turn and cook other side until golden brown.
NOTES : The original recipe calls for 6 teaspoons of baking powder. All I
had was 3 teaspoons of powder so made the substitution of baking soda and
cream of tartar for the remaining three teaspoons.  It produces a very airy
batter and cooks really fluffy pancakes.
