How many people could be saved if it didn’t take a mountain of dead bodies to convince you that we are on the wrong track?
If we were driving from Kansas City to Los Angeles, but the signs on the road kept coming up , now entering Illinois, now entering Kentucky, now entering West Virginia….
Does “cheering” the fact that the signs don’t say “Now entering Kansas, Colorado, Utah” mean we don’t wish we were headed in the right direction?
Of course not. We are hoping that the evidence that we are clearly headed in the wrong direction will persuade you to turn around, and the sooner the better. We’re making a big deal out of entering Illinois because it’s not going to get any quicker and easier the more stubborn we are about this.
But of course, the only rational thing to do from your perspective is to keep stubbornly on the same road petal to the metal, as “ punishment” for “cheering” (ie making abundantly clear ) all the evidence that we are clearly NOT headed in the right direction as it is.
The punishment is not going to get any of us moving in the right direction anytime soon. We’ll probably hit Delaware and the Atlantic ocean by the time we admit we have to turn around.
Los Angeles….clearly not on the Atlantic ocean….
