Because I thought I covered that with the cascade effect. Are you arguing letting the cascade effect happening is the moral thing to do? Also, I would really like to know your background because it would help me understand what I can assume you know and what needs explaining. You seem to be arguing that if things are so complex that we cannot predict outcomes with certainty (as they certainly are with economics) that there is nothing predictable with any reasonable probability at all. My successes in the past are one small testimony to the falsity of this position. You seem to have a black and white version of complexity. If it were strictly true, chemistry would be impossible. :-) Dan M. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
