I read this this weekend. I thought it was a brilliant piece and I realized that we (as a societal whole) are both brilliantly stupid and stupidly brilliant. We turn out in droves for American Idol, yet not for our elected officials. Amazing.
Given how much of a clue he has, it's even more and more amazing to me that he could have knuckled under like he did in 2000. Well, I wasn't any more prescient than he was, then, so I am in no position to cast blame. I can't wait to read his book.
Thanks! I took two hours this morning and got almost all of the major furniture reorganizing done (one more piece to move based on consultation with N). Now I can concentrate on getting the books unpacked and shelved, after which we will have actual spacious apartment back.
I will need to get a small storage space for some of my gaming stuff, though. We needed a three-bedroom, and we got a roomy two-bedroom.
