(was Re: Re: Historians & Bush) The FACT is we're all proverbial blind men feeling an elephant. A.A. To the extent that virtually no one knows why they do what they do and feel what they feel and want what they want, I agree. A lot of that is willful ignorance. People prefer to believe than to know. The elephant in the living room that everyone pretends isn't there is a more appropriate analogy in my opinion. Andy Mike Geary Memphis and that's a fact.
