This whole thread has been founded on an article itself founded on a shaky
assumption about human thought. While it's true that most of our beliefs, both
political and non-political, are rife with inconsistencies, this says more
about the multilogical nature of reality than our inability to carve it at the
joints and create a pattern of actions that has no redeeming value other than
its internal consistency.
Maybe we have voters all wrong: they DO examine their beliefs in all their
constituent glories, make them consistent, realize that no politician
represents those beliefs and then stay away from politics in droves.
