Actually, you don't have a clue what I think, what my motives are, or what I favor. Awareness of reality is the first requirement for sanity.
What banal nonsense is this? "Awareness of reality is the first requirement for sanity."
The awareness of the Gulag, the Deathcamps, Japanese internment, Joe McCarthy?
No, I had in mind the reality of cold water, the wind, the ground you walk on. You know -- real reality. You lose touch with that, you are in bad shape, wouldn't you agree? Likewise, making wild assumptions about what people think or believe frequently leads to inappropriate behavior.

???? Political science ???? As far as I know, I haven't said a single thing about political science.
These realities _happened_ and were all justified by their particular sponsors.
