Remember all those soldiers who voted for the first time and swept the extremists into the government?  I am sure they had good reason to follow the promises of tighter security and no tolerance for crime.  After all, they are the ones whose hands are tied when they experience provocation and violence because they fear condemnation for responses. 

But they are also the guys who play soccer on Saturday and today there was a recommendation that the government outlaw soccer games on the Sabbath.   

This is one of the examples of the double bind we are now in.  And, as R.D. Laing pointed out long ago, it leads to schizophrenia.
