I think that much of what is wrong here is the result of binary thinking. The real world is not that simple. Many wish it so because that makes everything easier. Decision trees generally have values assigned to each binary choice and ones personal values affect the chosen path through the decision tree. That's why I prefer a person with well thought out moral values making these decisions, i.e.: Bush. I shudder when I think of a leader who checks the political wind before each decision. The *decision* is the result of binary thinking. That does not mean that the individuals making the decision are necessarily binary thinkers. If one uses a decision tree to assist in selecting alternatives, he must still, eventually, make a decision to adopt or not adopt a selected alternative. -- John H "All decisions are the result of binary thinking." If I thought that way I might be a Democrat. The real world is not that simple. Good intentions can cause serious problems down the road. For example; Social Security when implemented was an exceedingly good idea but when you look at it multi-generation it creates social problems. Grandparents used to live in one of their children's homes, they helped out by babysitting their grandchildren. By doing this they passed down their life's-lessons and culture to the grandchildren. Parents are generally too busy supporting the family to do this properly. As a result of SS allowing more grandparents to retire to Florida we have another factor that is contributing to our cultural collapse. It's been my observation that most of the really successful Blacks are because of their grandparents. |
