"But it’s one thing to make deals to advance your goals; it’s another to open the door to zombie ideas."
Metaphor in Context
Yes, politics is the art of the possible. We all understand the need to deal with one’s political enemies. But it’s one thing to make deals to advance your goals; it’s another to open the door to zombie ideas. When you do that, the zombies end up eating your brain — and quite possibly your economy too.
