This is the third and final segment of this series (the others are here and here), and... what can I say that I haven't already said? How about that "I felt I had a bit of a duty to the rest of our society"? How crazy is that,... by American standards?
"People are the problem." No kidding! That's why we don't let people get their hands on nuclear bombs - indeed, why we restrict access to explosives of all kinds (except for gunpowder, of course, which is what the Boston Marathon bombers used).
That's why we have laws. That's why we have regulations. People are the problem,... but we're supposed to be the solution, too. Even conservatives in Australia seem to understand that. Why not here in America?

ReplyDeleteI think you already know the answer to that: faith-based thinking. American conservatives are going to believe what they WANT to believe. Evidence be damned. Are American conservatives crazy or are they just being plain STUBBORN?
I remember an episode of "Star Trek" when Spock scolded Dr. McCoy, "You must learn the difference between empiricism and stubbornness." I sometimes wonder if conservatives are as much stubborn as they are crazy?
