Ink Blots

I don’t know if you’ve noticed it but I certainly have. Judging by the various reactions, the assault on Paul Pelosi is practically a Rorschach test.

Some saw it as an example of right-wing extremism. Some saw it as an example of left-wing extremism. Some saw it as being hoist by one’s own petard. Or a security state cover-up. Now there’s apparently an illegal immigration side of it.

As I tried to indicate in my quick take post, I thought that people should be cautious before leaping to too many conclusions.

Stand aside, baseball. Jumping to conclusions is apparently now the national pastime.
