May Day
ain't what it used to be.
Cads are what they
will be.
CAD used to stand for Computer Aided Design.
Fore! To correct the swing of sorts.
I
recently referred to Ted Nugent as having CAD, Cause Affect Deficiency or Disorder, along with Mitt Romney. And since it is all about the defining issues of our time, or the 2012 election, the ideal flip-flop from Cause Affect Disorder is Culturally Aided Design. If fact I feel that the Jonathan Haidt book,
The Righteous Mind may be enlightening to read, but I believe it has some imbalances.
Why does he pick the
categories he does to
distinguish liberals from conservatives? Why is having them
balanced better than in some
hierarchy? Why should we look to the
sacred, and wouldn't the
rest follow of sorts? SEGUE
If moral psychology is the foundation for
politics and
religion, what is the
foundation of
economics? Or
physics and
philosophy?
Now I know I am avoiding comment on the May Day
issues**, but in the greater scheme of things, there may be a
related point
to do so. While I have yet to get the book, I have perused more than once most of the links in the previous paragraph(pre-segue). Not that they may be inserted only slightly more than haphazardly. In my lede, I have hinted that to be a
CAD is not always bad, but sometimes it is
just*** a tool*.
*BTW: it was more than just for convenience that I used affect over effect.

***5-3-12 "CAD" and "just" links are not endorsements of confrontation without
consequences. Violence and destruction must not be condoned. Anarchists
should be seen as part of the 1%. (Hijacking the message, much as the Tea-party had their's hijacked by the Koch bothers.) I might add that globalization, capitalism and even cap and trade, are not the problems or solutions^. It is the entitlements of the 1% in their hyperbola of fantasy. The only difference between
anarchists and
libertarians is the
fantasy. Not that anarchists are more real, at least they realize that their is something about
the foundations over the
fountainhead.
