I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

GI Joe was one of my favorites as a kid; I ultimately got four of the five Joes (one for each of the main services -- sorry, Coast Guard!). My normally progressive mom, though, didn't let me get the fifth one (no, I don't mean the nurse one).

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
