The Death of Friendship

A friend sent me this article, and I found myself wanting to discuss is with a bunch of people in my life (I mostly ended up staying up late talked with my husband about it, so hopefully this blog post will help me spread out my dialogue a bit more).

I'm interested in the opinions of those who read this and find holes in her points. Or opinions who supply unmentioned supporting arguments for her train of thought. As I read through the article I had an overall feeling of "yes, exactly what I was thinking!" but found a lot in her voice and attitude not syncing with my view of the world, and some of her points (like that mentioned-but-unsupported Gallup poll about the increasing number of Americans identifying as gay) are not precisely on.

Basically, help me think through this concept. This lost art and inherent need of phileo. This is the first article I've found that has attempted to articulate thoughts I had when reading C.S. Lewis' phileo argument.

I like the idea of having more love to go around.
