Americans believe that America won't be invaded, as well, thus giving more priority to welfare, college tuition, and gasoline prices than warfare. This is the result of having war which has no price attached to it. The Democrats say that Iraq's price is too high and thus it is unpopular and we should not support it. Actually, in reality, as the price of war goes up, the more support it is provided and the more popular it gets, so long as victories are provided to smooth the way. This is because as the price of war goes up, the priority starts to shift from having balls and party orgies in Hollywood to people's self-preservation. Fear may make wise men fools, and it sure as heck won't make Hollywood actors wise, but it at least will dispel the apathy even though it would and should cause a panic amongst the idiots at the top of the social heap.

Heyer fan but haven't read her for years. This post gives me hope that we will manage once again without the "ton" to do the right thing for our country and indeed the world. Nice post.
