Section PDFA plague on both your houses (Romeo and Juliet)
21 February 2010
While it is engaging and stimulating, most political debate is nonetheless a
charade based on the fallacy of false choices. Both sides put on a good show
for
the naive public, but neither side truly addresses the waste, fraud, and abuse
that are endemic to government. Like professional wrestling, politics is theater
with mock anger, pretend punches, choreographed cliffhangers, and
orchestrated outcomes. If we don’t learn to distinguish between reality and
theater, we will turn our reality into a theater of the absurd.
