I think most of us in the New Age community aren't intentionally hypocritical, we just suffer from what I call the Paint Chip Syndrome. The paint chip looks great in the hardware store, but when you actually paint your wall, you wonder what you were thinking.

Maybe it isn't hypocritical, but it is stupid. Those of us who use our frontal lobes more than once a month also wonder what people like this are thinking.

Meanwhile, in another room in our consciousness we see someone in such pain that we're moved to tears. No one should have to suffer that. Someone should do something. Someone or something is to blame. "There ought to be a law." We start a petition, pass a law, illegalize a thing.

This is why the country is set up as a republic, NOT a democracy - precisely to avoid mob rule based on emotion. Any politician that makes policy based on the latest poll might as well not be there - let the pollsters govern. Further, such politicians a traitors to the idea of a republic and to this particular republic.

The breakthrough here is a new age type who actually uses the "thinking" word. For the first time,probably, in his life he isn't "feeling"

I think it is hysterical.

Best regards,
