I am over weight, have high blood pressure and high cholesterol, but this in no way will change my strategy to consume a diet consisting mainly of fried fatty foods.
Do any of you question the wisdom of the words above? Does it sound like perhaps a slight moment of pause should be taken to consider whether the results of such a strategy are at all problematic?
Does it somehow seem noble, that against all odds and practical wisdom that we will "stay the course"?
Now, take that idea above and substitute the words of our public officials. On almost anything. When something awful happens as a direct result of policies that have been implemented, how often do you hear them say that "this event while tragic, in no way changes our strategy, commitment, blah, blah, blah".
Do you ever wonder, well...WHY NOT? I mean, that's like going outside in the midst of a Hurricane and insisting that despite the conditions you are not only NOT going to carry an umbrella, use a rain coat, or wear any protective gear, but that you are also going to pull up anchor and set sail for a nice sunny destination.
Who needs objective reality? Reality is whatever "the Power Elite" say it is, and whatever "they" can convince a majority of people to believe.
I need to eat a pizza.
