From where I sit,
This RM often does a long series of back flips trying to figure out ways to
FAIR MINDEDLY AND EQUITABLY
ACCOMMODATE EVEN SOME OF THE OUTRAGEOUS SENSIBILITIES AND !!!!!DEMANDS!!!!
OF A DOZEN OR TWO INSENSITIVE, RIGID, NARROW, HARSH, DUPLICITOUS, HYPOCRITICAL, THIN-SKINNED, OUTRAGEOUSLY PAROCHIAL, CHRNOICALLY WAILING, WHINING AND NEVER SATISFIED
emotional 2 year olds.
At many points in such a process and dance, it begins to turn my stomach to see the genetic “NEVER SATISFIED” mentality.
Personally, I think our RM deserves the Nobel Price for Peace.
Yep...no doubt..does an exrodinary work maintaining these threads..has my respect as well.
Here's how one Amazon book reviewer put it:
The Tragic (constrained) vision of human nature views man as possessing foibles, incentives, and the desire to act in his own self-interest. The Tragic "sees the evils of the world as deriving from the limited and unhappy choices available, given the inherent moral and intellectual limitations of human beings."...The Utopian (unconstrained) vision holds that man has not yet achieved his full moral potential, and that that potential is essentially perfectible. It is "foolish and immoral choices explain the evils of the world - and that wiser or more moral and humane social policies are the solution."
These different "Visions", as Sowell calls them, are irreconcilable. Our Utopian Romanist FRiends believe that things should be moderated by "reason" as dictated by select elites. The Tragics here see the Utopians for what they are, Liberals.
