Well, some of you here have known him personally, and so perhaps I should just cede the point. However, it occurs to me, when I hear about how his drinking is to blame for his recent behavior, that this is a far too facile explanation. It reminds me of all the jokes about how stupid Bush is, as if the current US policy were just the sound and fury of an idiot.

<<We are at such a point in mankind's evolution where changed conditions invalidate all our policies that have been so successful even in the recent past, and that presumably have constituted the ideal response to a presumably unchanging and unchangeable human condition. No wonder we are stupefied and confused-but our mistake is the same which many cultures have made before us, namely to force a rigid model upon a fluid reality.
