The Conservative Cat

I am always amazed by sites like Liberty Think that are chock full of warnings that eventually came true. It takes an enormous effort to pull the accurate warnings out of the huge mass of inaccurate ones. The problem is, by the time they get around to performing this valuable service, it's already too late.

See, humans have this thing called imagination that enables you to collect seemingly-unrelated events into a coherent message. These are almost always wrong, but if enough people are doing it, one of them is bound to hit on the truth.

The real source of the difficulty is that real life isn't like movies. In movies, the surest indication that something's a serious threat is that nobody believes it. This is why Michael Moore is so successful: he does documentaries where everything works the way it does in the movies. If only life were that simple.
