Hans the Spin Doctor

[From Bill Powers (961024.1100 MDT)]

Hans Blom, 961024 --

PCT seems almost exclusively focussed on the "wrong" side of life:
preventing "bad feelings", elimination of "disturbances". Where is
the other side, the seeking of "good feelings", the recognition of
"opportunities"? It's great to have eliminated the bad and to have
restored the OK. But what if that OK is only so-so?

That's a political statement, not a serious criticism. It's like one of
those negative ads we're seeing during the US Presidential campaigns: you
take just about anything about the opponent's position and put the most
unpleasant possible spin on it by attaching a lot of negative words to it.
If you had wanted to find the "other side" you could easily have found it.
