Letter to the Editor, Survive by focusing on reality, not fantasy, by FLVCS member, John Darovec, was published in the Herald Tribune on Monday, October 31, 2022.
Scientists, including myself, study and describe reality. To do so, we use our five special senses to look, listen, smell, taste, or touch what we are investigating. In contrast, too many politicians think their opinions, beliefs, fictions, and even fantasies are more important than reality.For 3.5 billion years life has survived by learning how to respond to reality (when to run, what to eat etc.). While focusing on opinions, beliefs, fictions (lies), and fantasies, politicians neglect that kind of response and, therefore, neglect survival.
Don’t be fooled by politicians who “protect your freedom” (often by helping you fight problems that really don’t exist) while neglecting real existential threats like air and water pollution or global warming. Learn which politicians deny or neglect reality, and don’t vote for them. Survival depends on your doing so.

Outstanding. I am waiting for the many hammers to drop with charges of treason.
Yes, it’s past time that the leaders of the coup be brought to justice and note just the poor chumps who have been conned.
We are in a time that our country has too many people, including republican politicians, that continue to refuse to accept and speak the truth. Our democracy is at stake and I’m afraid that too many people are unaware of this.
Sgt Joey, you are absolutely correct. One good way to help inform people to talk to your friends and neighbors.
