there were several news stories today about the degree of ignorance of the electorate. these combined with such memorable idiocies as the american sex survey and the killing of a student at UMass Amherst by police using "non-lethal" weapons exhibit the singular causal mechansim for the WWF's living planet report for 2004. The earth is in deep doo doo and the people are literally too ignorant to know it. how is it possible for more than 30% of those saying they are voting for Kerry also say that iraq had WMD and that Iraq was involved in 9/11 with al qaeda? how can reporters allow tom delay to public say in a press conference that the ethics committee dismissed charges against him when they wrote three letters of admonishment and are holding a fourth possible censoring or reprimand while three criminal investigations continue? how could diane sawyer ask some of the most inane questions of people, knowing full well that the questions were intensely biased and judgemental in both context and constructs? how can ron suskind report:
"In the summer of 2002, after I had written an article in Esquire that the White House didn't like about Bush's former communications director, Karen Hughes, I had a meeting with a senior adviser to Bush," journalist Ron Suskind writes. "He expressed the White House's displeasure, and then he told me something that at the time I didn't fully comprehend - but which I now believe gets to the very heart of the Bush presidency. The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality - judiciously, as you will - we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.'"
folks, look, they are admitting they are making it all up. that they construct realities on whims and have lost all possible sense of what is real. doesn't any one care?
the planet is in horrible shape, and these folks have the willingness to suspend all conneciton with that reality and believe that they are in heaven or at least manifesting it. "we create our own reality" wow.. so the earth isn't messed up, and iraq is going so smoothly it is hard to tell, and the universe is tidy and god talks directly to limbaugh and bush and so far forth... this is nuts.. really really nuts..
