Most of the current problems in America can be traced to wing nuts. I'm not talking about the little metal things that you can tighten by hand. I'm talking about the vocal, political wing nuts.
These come in two types, depending on which way they spin. We have right wing nuts and left wing nuts. They both have very fixed patterns of behavior and they are mutually exclusive. You can't substitute one for the other.
Both move only in one direction, so their application is limited, and they both only function properly when twisted up tightly, making them almost impossible to budge. Yet, when you let them loose, they have no discernable function at all.
They do have the same basic function, which is to bind any action, making it unmovable and thus stopping it cold. They also are incapable of conceiving any middle ground. It's all or nothing for them.
When anything is proposed that could be considered a sensible solution, both types spin violently to their respective locked tight position, thus grinding everything to an abrupt halt. In this way, any reasonable tool for change is kept from working properly.
Oddly enough, they seem to be proud of their limited responses, often broadcasting great amounts of skewed information, pointing to the undeniable logic of their direction of spin. However, if you delete the key terms relating to these fixed directions of spin, they both sound exactly the same.
