In childhood, my age group was taught a very simple logic via a story. "For want of a nail, a shoe was lost. For want of a shoe, a horse was lost. For want of a horse, a knight was lost. For want of a knight, a battle was lost. For want of a battle, a Kingdom was lost, and the people suffered."
The Objective Lesson of this nursery story was, to always keep track of the small things that large things depend on to function. The current Objective Lesson is that society has now forgotten to keep track of the nailsn, and that forgetting is the nail that keeps all things functional. Another lesson on just how smart people are truly stupid? Perhaps. On Thu, Feb 18, 2021 at 8:56 AM Rick Knoble via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Yep. The issue isn't a single issue.
