The correct term i...No doubt that you are correct. The correct term is not "pathologically tolerant" but describes exactly the term. The more accurate term is "cognitive dissonance" and describes the measures that we will take to try to reconcile psychological conflicts. For us to recognize how many horrible things have been done in our name, is to be forced to admit that WE are the bad guys. To avoid doing this, we will resort to all types of mental gymnastics. And to recognize that JFK was killed by the government is then to have to admit that our government is atrocious and fundamentially anti-democratic. This is what we don't, as a nation, have the balls to do. This fault is what allowed September 11th to occur, and allows it still to be the naked emperor standing before America living up to its promise, rather than simply being a nation of rhetorical and symbolic excellence.Da Weazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921447248269299119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22898260.post-67454570929116009172007-05-01T16:38:00.000+03:002007-05-01T16:38:00.000+03:00Exactly.

I just read an article calling Americans "pathologically tolerant."<BR/><BR/>The movie, "Good Shepard," led up to the JFK assassination and stopped short. How about a "Good Shepard II," in which Americans are slapped and flogged with the truth?<BR/><BR/>I'll bet the "morons" (Weaze noun) will opt for "Barnyard Bloopers," "Adam and Steve Take A Vacation," and "Joe Blow: Anatomy of a Serial Killer."<BR/><BR/>"feed me...feed me."The Freewheeling Socrateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11841376731514388019noreply@blogger.com
