I look at everything that’s happening, consult pertinent history (reading and fascinating conversations with the history professor and major in the family), try to examine logical motivation dispassionately, and think critically to try to understand wtf is going on in the world.
I think most people do this, but the first step for most people here is, how can I work this out in a way that supports my preferred political worldview. I don’t do that.
I many times despise my understanding of what’s going on in the world in the past couple of decades, but I’m not wearing rose-colored glasses like most people here seem to do.
You also seem to pat yourself on the back more than almost anyone else in the forum, Lash.
It seems you crave the "back pats"...and since no one else here is likely to favor you with them (they are seldom appropriate), the self-administered ones are the only way to go. But there are dangers in that.
You may dislocate your arm...and the maneuver is more likely to elicit laughter than agreement.
Lighten up. Have your say and stop supposing that you are enlightening the world each time you post.
