I think I think, therefore, I think I think I am, I think.
Or, of course, our betters may believe that we "can't handle the truth", as Jack Nicholson said in "A Few Good Men".(Coincidentally written by Aaron Sorkin, of "West Wing" fame.) I don't always assume a politician is lying. But what worries me more is when one says something that is patent nonsense, but obviously believes it. A liar can be dealt with. A delusional ideologue is another matter entirely. It is very difficult to cure stupid.cheerseon
Rules for submitting comments:1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
