I hate to begin with a compliment because it's so predictable (now why do I not want to be predictable?), but I couldn't help but think after reading Denis' first mini-essay on farsi what our country could be like if our leaders could actually think with the degree of clarity that Denis does.  When there is such a gulf between serious intelligence and mind-boggling idiocy, how can we possilby elect leaders who think in terms of freedom fries?  Now that I pose the question, which was more than a rhetorical one, the answer seems obvious.

It's sad, but it seems to me that, once the public opinion has been massaged a bit, many people will buy most any idiocy. Been there myself: raised behind the iron curtain, only after I had emigrated to the West did I realise how screwed up and deluded my mind was. And I even sympathised with the dissidents...Goes even for Denmark, where I now live.As I said: sad.
