If only...

But the vast majority of people live their lives entirely on emotion, not logic. Emotion has its own brand of "logic" that defies actual common sense.

I was afraid! But they're protecting us, so I'm not afraid any more!

But what they do is abusive and un-Constitutional.

But they HAVE to do it! Otherwise we'd all die!

No, they can do other things that are Constitutional and non-invasive, and still protect us.

NO! They can't stop protecting us! We'd all die!

But they wouldn't stop protecting us, they'd just use other methods that didn't hurt us while they're protecting us.

NO! I can't see those other methods! It only protects us if I can see it!

But you can't see the SSI stuff that they say is protecting us.

I can see the people who say it's SSI! I know they're protecting us!


It just goes on. And on. And no amount of logic can change the mind of a gullible, paranoid coward who is convinced that the government is truly here to help us and that there is no other way to keep us all safe.
