They think America is the goose that lays the golden egg. Why not? She laid it in their laps. She laid it in grandpa's lap.<br /><br />They don't feel anxious, because they never had anything to be anxious about. They grew up in an America surrounded by phrases—"strongest nation in the world," "indispensable nation," "unipolar power," "highest standard of living"—and are not bright enough, or serious enough, to imagine that they can damage that, hurt it, even fatally.<br /><br />We are governed at all levels by America's luckiest children, sons and daughters of the abundance, and they call themselves optimists but they're not optimists—they're unimaginative. They don't have faith, they've just never been foreclosed on. They are stupid and they are callous, and they don't mind it when people become disheartened. They don't even notice."Hank Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521410755553979665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-14842047457675555372009-11-01T14:22:35.867-08:002009-11-01T14:22:35.867-08:00When I've explained this to people, sometimes ...When I've explained <a href="http://documents.wolfram.com/applications/eda/ExperimentalErrorsAndErrorAnalysis.html" rel="nofollow">this</a> to people, sometimes the line between what has to be dealt with as systematic error and what does not has occasionally struck them as arbitrary, and even potentially recursive.Marion Delgadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09493068399042656060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-45778180048998315472009-10-31T20:11:45.394-07:002009-10-31T20:11:45.394-07:00As a former taxonomist I'd question the hasty ...As a former taxonomist I'd question the hasty assumption that it's a sheep, but we're like that ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-29099959840938477862009-10-31T11:06:56.388-07:002009-10-31T11:06:56.388-07:00Three scientists are walking through a field.
