Just North of Something Important

Here is a thing you could connect to that, if you wanted; I like the Comm scholar’s answer best, but of course I do. Still: the extraordinarily fuzzy nature of “truth” in politics, our impulse to make complicated choices binary upon reflection, the relationship of our policy preferences to what we perceive as true, the role of self-perceived truth or lies in constructing our self-image vis-a-vis political life, implying a direct link from a particular binary choice (like a vote) to one’s feelings on the issues underlying that choice, the necessary distancing of decisionmakers’ decisions from the nitty-gritty of the decision’s details in a highly administrative system, etc. etc. *waves hands furiously*
