The irrationality in choosing leadership...
We don't want to change horses in the middle of the stream, we are told. We shouldn't gamble with a military expert like John Kerry to replace George W Bush. We haven't had a terrorist attack since 9/11. Each day brings more proof of the incompetence of George W Bush and his regime. Even 9/11 may have been prevented if not for incompetence.
But,for some reason, we are supposed to accept known incompetence for the unknown expert in foreign policy? What kind of rational mind could think in such terms? Give us a weak leader, whose incompetence may have led to our nation being attacked on 9/11 - because we don't want to change horses in the middle of the stream - whose incompetence is more likely to lead us into another terrorist attack, rather than prevent it? Please explain this irrationality....

1. Read Robert Reich's new book, Reason...
it will give some insight as to why he thinks liberals will win the day using reason as the basis for our victory over the dark forces on the right.
