I’m not really seeing any commentary (left, right or center) about the Paris terrorist attacks that I don’t find stupid or naïve, or both. So, I’m going to continue to encourage folks to take some time, calm down, and evaluate whether their gut reaction is worth a warm bucket of spit. I’d also like to remind our political leaders, here and abroad, that their biggest challenge is to channel and respect the very destructive and foolish impulses of a scared and angry electorate without doing something really idiotic and completely immoral and self-defeating in response.
There are no easy solutions to a problem like this. But calm decisions are better decisions.
Take your time. Don’t panic. Others will follow your lead.
