“One of the scariest things to me about that war was that fact that it was not an easy war for people to take either side on. And the fact of the matter was that this country, as it does every time it comes down to war, completely loses its sense of humor. And when we do that, we become dangerously close to what we hate about our enemies. A terrorist is a person without humor at all. And we began to act like this. And neither side knew exactly what they were talking about.”

The political climate in this country is so frightening at this point. The level of irrationality is, in my opinion, far beyond the irrationality with which people in this country treat religion, science, culture, social interactions, and just about any other subject you can name. Of course, I think that “both” sides (as if there were only two) have completely lost their fucking minds, but that’s another issue…
