jabe, you make my point. . .
Here's the long way of saying the same thing

It says that to Kansas Republicans, lead in the water is a source of state pride, and one of secret ingredients that gives Kansas City BBQ it's signature 'metallic tang'.I'm interested, but the site doesn't load. I'll try again later...
Who said that? He's the better choice.So he really is your last hope?
In my 57 years I have had to make many difficult decisions, often with no "good" choice. Such is life. Be a pragmatist and get on with it.Wouldn't like to be in your shoes. When your dilemma has horns, a choice becomes impossible. When you are on the horns of a dilemma, no matter which horn you choose, something bad will happen.
So, in other words, you are right and the others are wrong?As an older EE colleague once told me when I was about five years into my career "good enough is the enemy of perfect." It took me a while to fully internalize this nugget, but it separates the whiny idealist children from the grown-ups.
I expect that most people value their own opinions about subjective topics like politics more highly than others.So, in other words, you are right and the others are wrong?
Not what I said. The real world is never going to be "perfect" or be transmogrified into the idealistic notions of people like Karl Marx. When I hear people complaining about life not being fair or some government institution or other group of people not being perfectly moral, it is a sign that the simple fact I stated has not been learned. Life is a series of imperfect tradeoffs made with incomplete information and with limited time to make decisions. Grow up and deal with it.So, in other words, you are right and the others are wrong?
I agree completely, and is the antithesis of most of your posts here.Life is a series of imperfect tradeoffs made with incomplete information and with limited time to make decisions.
In what way(s)?I agree completely, and is the antithesis of most of your posts here.
We all have opinions and make decisions based on imperfect information and filtered through our intellects, emotions, biases, and past experiences. Most of us, myself included, think we are more "right" than others, and don't hesitate to post sometimes disparaging remarks to that effect, incorrect as they may or may not be. We forget that, because of limited information and perception of reality, we may be wrong.In what way(s)?
Right and wrong in politics is rarely objectively clean cut. Emotional appeals tend to cloud thoughtful introspection.because of limited information and perception of reality, we may be wrong.
That's a fine restatement of what I posted earlier, but does not answer the question of why you think this is at odds with "most of my posts here." I've admitted to being wrong about many things.We all have opinions and make decisions based on imperfect information and filtered through our intellects, emotions, biases, and past experiences. Most of us, myself included, think we are more "right" than others, and don't hesitate to post sometimes disparaging remarks to that effect, incorrect as they may or may not be.
