2 dimensionality and it's relationship to politics

For those of you who have read "A Wrinkle In Time" you know there is a point in the book where the characters accidentally end up in a two dimensional world. The interesting thing about this is how we, as three dimensional creatures in a three dimensional world, percieve two dimensions. We tend to pick up a peice of paper when trying to demonstrate two dimensions, because that's as close as we can come. However, even paper is not truly two dimensional, as it still operates in three dimensions. Something that is two dimensional will not "turn sideways and dissapear", rather, it can't even turn sideways!
In three dimensions we can move side to side, front to back, and up to down. A two dimensional object would go just as crazy trying to comprehend 3d as we would by adding a fourth dimension to our world. This brings me to politics...
Politicians are always trying to make us laypeople understand the 4th dimension, or as they call it "the platform". It's all a matter of teaching us to see things from their point of view. The problem is, while we have no problem understanding how two or four dimensions work, we can't actually operate in them. Reducing federal debt sounds great in 2D (on paper), but how often does it manage to operate in 3D (real life!)? In the interest of the United States of America, next time you're listening to a politian preaching his 2D plans to make a 4D accomplishment, ask yourself if it will work in 3D.

Love you all,
