The U.S.’ sudden interest in Polish security is the latest illustration of the earlier-cited study about the pscyhology of risk…
That was an obvious reference to the force and ferocity with which Russia rolled into Georgia in recent days, taking the key city of Gori and apparently burning and destroying Georgian military outposts and airfields.
Risking yet another Olympic rant: in my typical current events/cultural awareness lag, I just learned that the opening ceremonies were effectively simulated for all television viewers via computer-generated imaging (CGI). Yet another example of the insidious “not quite true but enough to satisfy us” infiltration of the psyche playing out there.
Such prisoners would mistake appearance for reality. They would think the things they see on the wall (the shadows) were real; they would know nothing of the real causes of the shadows.
…or as Paul put it:

Elsewhere I recently opined how selling disability insurance must rank down there for weird jobs. Not far behind/below must be “serving clients” at towing/impoundment agencies. I’ve had the chance to personally witness such service through my own travails with the Department of Parking & Traffic and now my friend Kelly – freshly on the scene in San Francisco to innocently record some music at a non-profit community studio – has had her own storied experiences….
We shouldn’t purport to advance conspiracy theories as a general rule, but there is a point when it would be almost irrational to NOT consider such when, in 4 days, one receives 4 tickets…including one for parking in a spot that another fair citizen seems to escape….or for not having a permit which clearly seems to be in existence here….is it possible for an entity such as the city of San Francisco to stalk?? Forgive me for laughing Kel…remember: “it was towed, it wasn’t stolen. I’m grateful. I’m grateful.”
