I've never prescribed to the "ignorance is bliss" philosophy outside of petty social matters, but I'm starting to understand the appeal when it comes to politics. Still wouldn't personally swallow that pill, but increasingly understand why a lot of people do.
Talk about a buzz kill. Never believed that history is doomed to repeat itself, still don't. But, in my humble (and currently tipsy) opinion , avoiding it requires a conscious and knowledgeable effort to honestly understand and accept responsibility for the mistakes of the past and their repercussions (whether it be personally, politically, or as a society). That ain't happening here and, to me, it's a very serious and scary economic prospect.
Can't do the outdoor uphill walk tonight, so I'm gonna step indoors. Frank Zappa on the tt. Yeah, that'll help with the political aggravation! At least I'll feel justified. Lumpy Gravy...
