So many strange features along with the old strange and ugly features. They removed Iraq - a 'logic' that fails by their own twisted logic. They signed it today, but it will come into effect in ten days - also a 'logic' that fails by their own twisted logic, as any terrorist would buy a ticket and enter in the next nine days. As I understood it, anyone with a visa who was enroute when the ban took effect on the 16th would be allowed in, but anyone who had a valid visa who did not begin their travel by the 16th would not...again failing the sanity test. I think it will be knocked down in the Courts much as the first one and the Administration will have egg on their faces again. ::
I thought the removal of Iraq and the reduction to 120 days for Syrians curious also. According to the Indy, the 7 nations were nominated because they refuse to cooperate with US immigration requirements for purposes of vetting incoming travellers.
The whole thing is bizarre - including the fact that the 7 nations were originally nominated for restriction by Obama, a stipulation that sailed through without comment at the time.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
