The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

so they will awaken to the reality of the results of the last election and take steps to reverse it. I want the lessons learned to be severe enough to be lasting

I understand it, but isn't this - only when its´s radical, when it has dramatic consequences - the same way of thinking that produces these results?

IF(!) the guy who causes them has altruistic motives then his thinking is "...I want the US to awaken ... the consequences of my actions must be severe enough to be lasting ... for the good of the American people".

Pol Pot, Hitler, Mao, they probably all thought similar: "My people are such dummies, are sleep-walking. They do not see, I must wake them up, with drastic measures."
