Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
Detroit baby, studied geophysics at Eastern Michigan University as a 20 something, moved to Portland Oregon and did post-bacc studies in philosophy, moved to Ohio to study philosophy at Kent State University, lived in Alaska for a summer and landed in Philadelphia where I'm officed-up.
My copy of the book arrived magically from Amazon yesterday, so this weekend I'm going to be the speed-readingest speed reader that's ever been speedy. :-)
some very good points.when bush ends up with ALL of the the credit ( and he will ) i don't think the results were due to any forthought or plan on his part. but, is that important or, just the results?
And so the age old question of intent rears its ugly head...does the actor get credit when the consequences of his actions create a result that was not intended? Why not? Scientists get to when they experience serendipity. I might ask, however, whether the actions by this actor, were actually the cause creating the effect. I'm with you TGWMSU, I'm thinking no. But, of course, I hate the actor in this case and want no part of thinking he or his methods can create good in the world.

that is the way of the world. sometimes good comes from bad actions.
