Spock would be logical about the plan to risk the entire world in order to stop sick people from getting health insurance. Spock would fail to understand why anyone believes the incredibly illogical "facts" being spouted by the Tea Party.
Spock would understand that people who blackmail NEVER stop.
Spock would understand that if our President gives in to blackmail, then terrorists will also think that they can get away with blackmail.
Spock would understand that the world's financial markets know that eventually this confrontation will end.
However, the markets will eventually react to the crises. Spock would recommend that everyone hold on to their current stocks and bonds. The arbitrageurs are not going to be able to resist the incredible opportunities to make money during this crises. Spock would remind everyone that only those truly able to gamble away billions should be playing the markets at this time.
It is possible to assume that people are also being blackmailed regarding their misdeeds. (We all have misdeeds.) Spock would recommend the best advice ever given about blackmail. You just reply, "Publish and be damned."
* The original Star Trek taught most of us to THINK about how we treat other people. Mr. Roddenberry is a true bodisapa.
