Objective Realism? Cyber Ken? He likes the sound of the terms he uses. Forget what the words mean..or the ideas behind them. Get on the National Security train; it's leaving the station. I am sure I am misquoting or misphrasing, but somewhere I read that the loss of personal liberties throughout history can usually be traced to "those who want to protect you", so don't ask questions and just acknowledge these are "unusual times" that require "special solutions" which will be reversed when "the time is right" and "the danger is past". Using the proper phrase in a timely manner can remove debate and make the questioner look silly. Like GOD and COUNTRY. Try it. It works.
