The last straw
She must have lost her mind. She sounds exactly like Karl Rove accuses people who criticize the war as unpatriotic.
And the heat is just unbelievable. She is surely more Howard Dean than Obama is Karl Rove.
Bye bye, Hillary!
I have to admit that I feel bad. That's not because I liked her. I never did. I just dislike Obama more. And now I have to decide whether I dislike more McCain or Obama.
One interesting thing I found, from myself as well as many other voters, is that people don't vote based on reason as much as emotional instinct. This is of course no news. I myself blogged many times against it. That's why it's so provoking to me when I found (or finally admit) I am one of them. For example, I NEVER study the platform of either candidates in details, I just dislike Obama because he is rhetoric, the type of the politicians I as a Chinese despise intuitively. (Of course an excuse could be there's no much difference between Obama and Hillary that worths time investment.)
I've come to one theory for that. Vote for a specific candidate is a specific meme. There are rational reasonings to support these memes, which form a memeplex. These memeplexes compete in one's brain. The fittest survives. But that's not up to which one fits the reality, or logic, or reasoning. No, it's who fits best the environment, the brain. The memeplex that makes the brain feel good survives. Some brain reward reasoning strongly, but that's very rare. Most just yield to the subconscious unknown pleasure. Yet people think they are reasoning, because they all have a decent memeplex to support their decision. And these kind of memeplex are just too many. That's why rationality often ends up only as an excuse for irrationality.
