Goldilocks Politics

Here is an interesting observation about the "Overton window":

"Heaven forbid anyone appear too extreme. Our rulers keep discourse safely within the Overton window by allowing debate about the details of what the government does or doesn’t do. However, those who question the necessity of particular government agencies or programs, or government in general, are beyond-the-pale extremists and cast into the Abyss of the Unacceptable, one zip code over from the Abyss of the Deplorable."

Yep, they just keep us moving down the old cattle chute. Funny thing, though - we all get a stun gun to the forehead whether we stay in the chute or not.
