The complete irrationality of ideologues can be very dangerous but it's often quite amusing. Take this comment from an acquaintance of mine who's both theocrat and fundamentalist advocate of absolutist laissez-faire capitalism. He's talking about former CNN boss Ted Turner:
"His political philosophy is hardcore socialist, whether or not he follows it in his life is another story."
Forget for a minute that my acquaintance is talking about the same Ted Turner who's one of the richest businessmen in America and reportedly the single largest private landowner in the country.
Exactly how "hardcore" a socialist can Turner be if he doesn't follow it in his life?
