(1) What do you suggest we actually do as a result of these judgments?

Do you have something against reality in general? Or do you avoid reality for practical reasons?

Why is anyone being coy about it?

Do you talk to people, read newspapers or watch the news?

Let's hear the practical recommendations that follow, please.

(2) Please explain how it helps us strategically or makes our task more doable.

Truth is truth. Let the chips fall where they may.

No, I have nothing against reality in general. I mean, sure, I dislike the existence of cholera and what not, but I don't suppose that was the question. Would you kindly answer my question now, and explain what you think it means we should do?

Yes, I talk to people, read newspapers, and occasionally watch some news. I even study all sorts of things, and post here, rather a lot really. I still consider the original poster in this thread, those who agree, and yourself to be rather coy about what they conclude from the items offered. You could easily disabuse me of this notion, if it is way off base, by simply telling me what you do conclude from it (as to policy recommendation, actions you think we should take, etc), practically speaking. Why is that hard?
