Or as Einstein said, "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts." (Sign hanging in Einstein's office at Princeton)

I haven't been paying a lot of attention for quite a while. but has there been any discussion about what is wrong with the basic values of competition and what we value in our society in general? For example, is it possible that the socialization process through which we teach our children to work for something other than the value of doing the work itself, may be one of the things that is wrong that has the possibility of being corrected if enough people were willing to acknowledge it and try to work to change it? Remember the good old days when Ray Harrell (do I remember his name correctly?) was here and we had wonderful discussions about such things. However, from the little attention I have been paying, the people still on the list are the ones who would not countenance such heretical thinking so maybe that is a road we cannot manage to tread on.
