The Rubber Meets The Road, Part 1: Setting The Stage

This is gonna be in 2 parts. Part one sets the stage. Part two is the coup de grace. Checkmate! Appalling conclusion!! And we won't have to extrapolate about the meaning and the role its playing in its many forms. When we get done with this one we'll have no where else to go except commit to change or acquiese to more denial.

We had been talking about the Steorn thing and trying to explore why such a high majority of people don't want this technology to be tested.

Palooka said... among other things, they just don't wanna look. He admits that's speculation. How to know what lurks in the differentiated minds of over 100,000 voters? Palooka don't know. But Palooka know common motivators often manifest in forms so varied they can be easily construed as totally unrelated. Its called FORM CHANGE. BUT... truth be known, when the onion gets pealed, among other things, some common form of abject fear can often be found at the core.

Palooka say... when we don't wanna look it don't matter what form of reason or excuse we present to the "out there". Deep inside, way down there in the deep dark irrational places where our emotions lurk, we feel threatened. And thats freightening!

But its not just that we don't wanna look. As we will see at the end of part 2, its worse. We will see that, despite looking, despite knowing, despite legitimate concerns and desires on the part of many of us to do something, when the rubber meets the road, we crawl into our holes, turn our heads to the wall, piss all over ourselves, and then make a conscious, rationalized decision to...

DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING...

Its a simple story involving only about a hundred people that we will come to at the end. Just an example really. But I dare say those few people are reflective of an entire nation of so-called BRAVE Americans.
