Scott Adams's last two posts have me wondering if Tom Tomorrow wasn't right about his fellow cartoonist being a bit reactionary:

I keep hearing people saying, "If WMD was really the reason for attacking Iraq, why don't we attack North Korea? Huh? Huh? Answer me that!!!"
...
To me, it seems safer to have one America-hating nut job with WMD compared to two. And since zero isn't an option, it makes sense to whack the guy whose WMD and army are still somewhat dysfunctional. That cuts the risk in half.

"Debating People Who Are Bad At Math"

Umm ... maybe because "the risk", and the consequences of wars to address it, involve more than a head count of regimes?

And then, today:

I keep hearing pundits whining about the growing gap between the rich and the poor. I have difficulty empathizing with that viewpoint [because] there are more poor people than rich people [and they] could vote to tax the living piss out of the super rich.
...
If you're looking to place blame, it has to be on the low income people who don't vote. If ever there was an appropriate time for the phrase "It's your own damned fault," it's now.

"Income Gap"

Umm ... maybe it's worth whining if the only options are to be a parasite of the rich or to be poor? (As it stands, they aren't, but Adams makes the common mistake of conflating the wealth gap and the extent of poverty.)

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
