THE DISSENT

[budge]

all i can say is that the voter is near sighted. the american voter will refuse solutions to hard problems. the american voter is dilutional. the voter has been fed dilusion for generations and a multi generational solution for anything will be out of the question.

if you look around the world, any attempt at a sea change in societal attitude has taken place under oppressive control.

humans are self interested. given the liberty to persue their interests they will travel a well worn path to bankrupcy.

right now, the voter wants what he wants, but wants someone else to pay for it. he wants security, but refuses to accept the requisite limitations on liberty. he wants opportunity but refuses to accept the required responsibility.

all that is left is platitudes because the attention span of the voter and the media that feeds him is too short for anything meaningful. so we sit and lie to ourselves about how great we are and how great we can be and fool ourselves into thinking that wanting it and repeating it makes it so.

our cultural arrogance is strangling us.
