(13,133 posts)44. The "Experience vs JUDGEMENT" sounds like a false equaivancy
Almost like trying to separate the wet from water. From what i can see when it comes to the "Experience vs JUDGEMENT" is that the stuff all the fools that came earlier did worked well enough, so it should still work now. At least that seems to be the thinking those trying to cheerlead the way and those that would want to fund it. That is not anything rational to me, that seems only to be postponing the day of reckoning by compounding it. All that shit that Bill Clinton did with triangulation with the republicans is now coming back to bite everybody in the ass (except the wealthy, as of course, they are just collecting the dividends off it).
