What is wrong with you guys? Nothing wrong with making U-turns. Tell me that in your life you must have made a mistake while driving and found yourself going down the wrong road. What did you do? Continue going down the wrong darned road so as to avoid making a U-turn? Is that what you did? This is nonsense.
I would rather have a government which makes mistakes and then has the character to own up to the mistake and remedy that mistake. Rather then take the entire nation down the "wrong road" but not change direction lest it have to make a "U-turn"? Is that sensible?
And don't tell me governments don't make mistakes. No leader, no government is gifted with a god like ability to not make mistakes. The defining characteristics of good government is it learns and corrects mistakes rather then sodding keep going along with the mistake because of some exalted sense of pride.
