“Giving someone enough rope to hang himself” seems to be the current position of the opposition party. Sober and sensible people can see that what “he” is doing is totally wrong, but he’s convinced himself and others that he can pull off a miracle .
In some cases, it’s true that active opposition is useless and often counterproductive. It’s the nature of braggarts to blame others when they fail, and who easier to blame than those who worked against the plan. A glib orator can even carry a lot of his charmed audience along with him .
So let him do what he will and then pick up the pieces after the inevitable destruction .
The problem, of course, is that sometimes the person with the wrong vision is totally drunk and going to drive you home in his car. Giving him enough rope to prove he’ll wreck the vehicle and kill others may end your life as well. Not to mention being morally wrong to let him drive under any circumstances .
We are already in the car. I understand that the “enough rope” approach is tempting. I truly hope it ends short of disaster .
