As much as I love and miss Europe, I can't stand European politicians' arrogance against their own people. Yes, there's a discussion to be had about undemocratic judges in America also trying to subvert the will of the people, but in the States, the attempted subversion is more subtle and insidious, cloaked in the pious nonsense of "stopping an authoritarian." In Europe, the politicians simply ignore election results (that reflect the wishes of the people) and do whatever they want. Watch Michael Heaver on this subject. |
The roadrunner never bested Wile E. Coyote because he was faster. He bested him because Coyote wasn't nearly as clever as he thought he was. That meme kind of misses the entire point of the cartoon.
ReplyDeleteDunning-Kruger doubtless played a role, but the odds were always stacked against the coyote: even nature was often metaphysically against him.
