You live in the Liberal Republic of Delusionistan, if you:

Gauge the world based on your predetermined ideas. To you, the world is not what it is, the world is what supposed to be;
Always know what is the desired outcome, but have never felt necessary to take the hard road getting there;
To you, a chain of events always "start" at the nearest reference point;
Never in your life have made connection between cause and effect;
