Ouch!
“..He never could have pulled it off were it not for Romney’s shortcomings. For whatever reason, Romney seems like a creature put on Earth to blend in with the humans and report back what he finds. He clearly likes earthlings, and they in turn find him pleasant enough, and surprisingly lifelike. Occasionally he finds the right words, but he rarely connects them to the right tone...”
I’ve described him as Saccharine, but this description is better. He looks like, and is presented like a movie president. But movies have scripts. Everything is predetermined. The real world is not like that, as many are discovering.
In movies, presidents are often either black or female. In movies, most people use an apple computer. The real world is different.
I don't find Romney the least bit likeable or pleasant. Seriously, what can be said about a guy so clueless that he transports his own family dog on the roof of his car and can't figure out ON HIS OWN that such is a really bad and inhumane thing to do?
It isn't just the fact that Romney has no core values other than feeding his own power and ego. It's that a basic sense of humanity is missing. And those who support him while failing to sense that reveal their own lack of humanity as well.
Many pre-eminent scientists of the atomic era were emigres from Hungary. Teller, Szilard, Wigner, Von Neumann, Erdös, etc. It was (and remains) a puzzle as to how so many great scientific minds originated from a small population in a short space of years.
A story circulated among the other scientists that the Hungarian scientists were actually an advanced race of beings from another planet, sent among us to give us the magic of the atom.
These aliens had worked hard at fitting in among the Earthlings; however, they had encountered difficulty in speaking English intelligbly because of their extra-galactic native tongue.
Then the aliens hit upon the solution: Create the legend that they were native Hungarians, since hardly anybody can understand a Hungarian speaking English.
