Is whole problem that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people full of doubts?

Answer 1

I prefer a more careful, studied approach to finding the answers to the problems facing our country rather than radical, quick actions based on ideology and emotion. This is the microwave age and most people seem to be unhappy with anything other than instant action. Our politicians don't even read the legislation they sign. Scary isn't it.

Answer 2

Or perhaps that those supposedly 'wise' people end up hesitating and being filled with self doubt until it's too late and the impulsive fools and fanatics have already done too much damage to be repaired?

Answer 3

you bet ye, this old fool is no dummy.
