Corrik does not claim to be enlightened. I think his position is that he has "common sense" -something easy to have, which does not require a lot of work or talent or privilege - yet all these crazy leftists do not have it. That makes the leftists unusually bad, but it doesn't make the center right especially good. This is a very common worldview, but personally I find it depressing. It all but implies enlightenment is impossible, and the contest is between okay and awful. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:943815665] in Politics C...
