Thank you. Cognitive dissonance is a way of life for me. Ever look for a tool for an hour only to find it in your back pocket? Sometimes I have to close my eyes and pat my hands around the workbench to find a tool. My brain can fool my sight but not my touch. Great article.

Every time this happens they reduce their Cognitive Dissonance symptoms by calling it a buying opportunity.

Descartes, Cogito Ergo Sum.

DISCOURSE ON METHOD (http://www.publicbookshelf.com/public_html/Outline_of_Great_Books_Volume_I/ithinkth_bga.html)

It helped me early on in dispelling those annoying bouts with Cognitive Dissonance. It doesn't mean that I don't still get them, but at least I can recognize and attempt to correct them when they occur.

It's also the primary reason I despise ideologies.

The United States is the Greatest force for Good in the world today.

Police and Military are the only one who need guns and its thier job to keep us safe.

The American justice system is the best legal system.

The American way of life must be defended at all costs.

If its on The news it must be true and thats the way it happened.

The best place to put your money is in the stock market.

The safest place to hold your money is in the banks.

Isreal is our greatest ally and always must be defended
