| * Stop the wars * Stop the spying * Save the children Blah blah ... The terrorists will persist. Globe trotting capitalist crisis will persist. Radical ideologies don't die, easily.The problem is Action <-> Reaction. You spit on me, I plot revenge. What will happen after another deeply painful attack ? Everyone usually just hand-waves and says "Do something !" This is when american hypocrisy is updated to 11.0. "I want to be comfortable ! They are the idiots, kill them ! I don't care who ! Don't tell me how, Just do it ! Don't bother me, I need to workout ! I want to bang this person you see ... " So, faux laws are created, damage is done, lives are saved, movies are made, everyone feels icky about the new laws and then we get new presidents and new laws like new muffins. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. |
