In our earlier, more peripatetic life, we would, on occasion, enjoy eating at a salad bar. A “Salad Bar,” as commonly known, refers to a restaurant with a buffet-style table or bar, where diners can select and thereby, create their own personally preferred salad. It is the unique dynamic of the franchise to volitionally select choices (of salad ingredients), that constitutes the analogical basis of our present writing. In the referenced process, a diner will choose from a diversely presented array of comestible offerings viz., lettuces, vegetables, seafood or meat, savories, dressings, and other presented items, and select from the variety of proffered salad dressings; all such choices, based upon his nuanced taste and empirical experience. The combination of recollected past dining experiences and the opportunity for present choice is the fundamental analogy of this writing.
Continuing with such stated contextual analogy, it may be safe to say that past dining experiences, perhaps more than currently contrived presentation will most predictably govern one’s salad bar choices, and unfamiliar, exotic, or untried choices will usually be eschewed, in the understandable intention for a successful dining experience.
Sadly, recalled past experience in interaction with other people is distinguishable and portends no such predictable expectations. Unlike the familiar taste of much of the array of ubiquitous comestibles, by contrast, the human persona is multifaceted and manifestly unfathomable. Too often, character, capability, and persona are conceptually anticipated and then ultimately disproven. Similar injustice is found in flawed pre-judgments that undervalue reliable individual character and capability. It is factually inarguable, that the projected evaluation of human character is nowhere as reliable as the result anticipated regarding a salad bar beefsteak tomato, or a displayed carrot, but rather, the inexact product of subjective, or nuanced perception.
Notably, no such impediment exists, in the singular case of the evaluation of the Republican choice of Donald J. Trump, an inarguably demonstrated, immoral, incapable, and autocrat as Presidential candidate. In this singular instance, an offensive taste and an empirically predictable, unsavory result would result from his democratically, “indigestible” election next November. In addition to his lack of moral compass and declared autocratic intentions, Trump has recently been publicly seen suffering from a discernable state of mental deterioration such that his various bizarre and incoherent pronouncements have merited the uniform description by the news media, as constituting confused”Word Salad,” the latter, not to be confused with the healthful and dining experience at a salad bar.
The enjoyable taste of an individually selected salad bar meal is many universes far from the perverse choice of an immoral, superannuated would-be tyrannical ruler, whose observable proclamations are not lucid or rational, but authoritatively describable as “word salad.” Fresh salad is appropriate to the salad bar, however, deteriorated Presidential candidates whose stale proclamations have been diagnosed as “word salad,” have no place in the Nation’s Oval Office.
