Have you been keeping up with your science lately? Heard of this thing called quantum mechanics? Read up on it, you will find it fascinating. And also people dont play any part in your world then. If they dont behave logically, then the "world" is not logical. I appreciate your interest in logic, I find it attractive too, but the world aint logical. Much as we would like it to be, it just aint. I suppose it comes down to the old clockwork universe arguement. You believe that the universe is clockwork? That we can predict the future using logic. I dont, especially when it comes to people and society. >> So we cant let them choose their own government?
