More From Joe Klein

Most people are unable to write because they are unable to think, and they are unable to think because they congenitally lack the equipment to do so, just as they congenitally lack the equipment to fly over the moon.
Writing Moon Thinking
So many dictators trying to blackmail the free world because they have no way to compete on ideas, innovation or creativity. the cold war was two competing visions of the future. i was always anti-communist but it was an idea at least, an alternative idea. we do not have a competing vision for the future because the ideals of these dictators are in the past. they are time travellers. they need confrontation and destruction to survive. the problem is, many people in the free world are sympathetic to vladimir putin.

The indispensability of reason does not imply that individual people are always rational or are unswayed by passion and illusion. it only means that people are capable of reason, and that a community of people who choose to perfect this faculty and to exercise it openly and fairly can collectively reason their way to sounder conclusions in the long run. as lincoln observed, you can fool all of the people some of the time, and you can fool some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.
Running Passion Mean
Mostly actors are progressive because we are accustomed to all the nuances of human life, whereas dictators just try to flatten it all out. so we usually try to stand up to dictators like, well, we won't mention names.

Dictator Made Made For Each Other
All too often we say of a man doing a good job that he is indispensable. a flattering canard, as so many disillusioned and retired and fired have discovered when the world seems to keep on turning without them. in business, a man can come nearest to indispensability by being dispensable in his current job. how can a man move up to new responsibilities if he is the only one able to handle his present tasks? it matters not how small or large the job you now have, if you have trained no one to do it as well, you're not available; you've made your promotion difficult if not impossible.
