Proud Member of the Reality Based Community

Ron Suskind, in his article "Without a Doubt" (http://tinyurl.com/62343)
on Bush, has a quote that should need no comment:

The aide said that guys like me were ''in what we call the reality-based community,''
which he defined as people who ''believe that solutions emerge from your judicious
study of discernible reality.'' I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment
principles and empiricism. He cut me off. ''That's not the way the world really works
anymore,'' he continued. ''We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our
own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll
act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things
will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study
what we do.''

BTW, I am a proud member of the reality based community.
