Did this practical thinker see what was coming during the Bush years? Or history was whispering sweet nothings at that time. There are conspiracy theorists who make more sense than extreme republicans and democrats. >As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me. Some people scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. Perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe–and why I believe it. I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am.">
