Join or Die

SO many holes, leaps in logic, begging the question and unsubstantiated assertions it was painful. It was little more than rephrasing and repositioning Hillary clinton's "it takes a village".

As the excruciatingly one-sided presentation of an often debunked theory came to a close, it occurred to me it was more about the beatification of Bob Putnam than it was about presenting his grossly omissive theory in a convincing or believable way. Disjointed and contradictory, the only constant was showing all the people that loved Putnam and considered his work worthy of listening to. Truly a celebration of the appeal to authority and the virtue of group think. In this latest pitch by the collective, 2+2=5...in the real world, it does not.
