As far as the inability of the COOTWH* to govern, this Newsweek article by Mickey Kaus makes some excellent points. An appeal to common sense, and that leadership must actually involve some.......leading.

How Can I Interpret This?
The following was recounted to me, and did not happen to me personally; I should feel myself having suffered temporary insanity if it had.
The interlocutor of the person relating the story was talking about a boy who grew up with parents who were both deaf.
He remarked, "Isn't that a wonderful way to grow up?"
Does this carry the probable meaning, that in the case of this particular boy, growing up with deaf parents enabled him to better relate to the disabled (however arguable the point), or
...does it imply that all persons would be better off being raised by parents with disabilities?
I think the first is questionable, the second preposterous, and yet I cannot escape the feeling (knowing this person only slightly) that he really believes the more global proposition to be true.
We live in a marvelous age, wandering around in our tiny hermetic worlds.
