Is America Intellectually Constipated?

I think so.

We have a lot of people in this country who are fighting so hard against any sort of progress. We, as Americans, have become extremely adept at doing a collective impression of the three monkeys-- we don't want to see, we don't want to hear, we don't want to speak about it; we don't want to HAVE to think.

Some of our people just don't want to have to adjust their brainspace-- we just don't want to make room for a new paradigm.

This mentality, reminds me of the child who is afraid to --well... proceed with the needful clearing out of the waste brought on by the sheer unwillingness to pay attention to some of the basic things in life that are crucial to survival, for fear that the .. ahem... process will be painful.

Is it possible that we might learn to embrace change as a positive thing?

Maybe it's time to relax and move to the future?

Absolutely. You know I have come to the conclusion that most people would rather risk their health than admit that what they thought to be true might just possible be wrong.

Amen to that-- partisanship-- or rather subscribing to a particular ideology can trip us up sometimes. We see this in the never-ending friction between Vegans , Low Fatters and Low Carbers.

Going longer than at least three days out one, however, is generally excessively long. Following three days, the stool or dung becomes more diligently and increasingly hard to pass. SOURCES: National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse.
