    Excellent analogy.

    I used, “Why do starving people have distended stomachs? They can’t be starving with those big bellies, right?”

    The ship is more accurate and less upsetting, although shock can sometimes be compelling through cognitive dissonance. I think from now on I’ll start with the ship and progress from there.

      Unfortunately, Republicans don’t care about logic or reality. They care only about winning.

    And Democrats are the band playing as the ship sinks.

    Really I guess they’re both the iceberg. Both parties keep breaking extraction records, and protect fracking.
