The upcoming election, in the end, won’t be decided by the Democrats or the Republicans—it will be decided by Perception, for it is not facts or opinions that guide peoples’ decisions, not beliefs even, but the perceptions that underly and support those beliefs and opinions. And, to our great consternation, neither wisdom nor even the ability to accurately assess the virtues of a particular proposition are of much help in this endeavor compared to predisposition, temperament and timing. Call it kismet, chance, fate or God throwing the dice . . . even indigestion may be the equal of the wisest counsel available to those charged with the awesome and solemn responsibility of collectively determining our nation’s destiny! Successful navigation of this malign marathon requires, above all, a healthy and abiding sense of humor.
