everytime.
it is what H. Rittel, or more recently as in I learned it today from ET455 prof T. Steelman, would call a "wicked problem"
or as what I'm talking about, its at least part of one, responsible for one
my cherished physics book just informed me that petroleum was chosen as the fuel for automobiles because the prohibition movements of the day banned the alcohols from biomass. didn't know, never thought about it before, but makes complete sense to me..
just another thing the PM is responsible for, like the mafias.
now we are stuck with a "wicked problem" because some extreme control-freaks endorsed by greedy elitists thought alcohol should be consumed by neither people nor cars - alcohol fueling cars, taking drink driving to a whole new level..
but alas, that is the essence of a "wicked problem".. true prohibitionists sincerely thought they could solve so many social ills by banning alcohol .. but alas solutions just create more problems unforeseen..
apparently someone else has already blogged about this in a much more detail - if i have intrigued you, please go on
im going to delve into more legit researching of this relationship, not now though as its 5 30 am - save it for a later day kids..
“Some problems are so complex that you have to be highly intelligent and well informed just to be undecided about them” Laurence J. Peter

oh the people our society worships.. GO ROCKEFELLER! exalt him. commemorate him with every new building..how is he such a highly esteemed philanthropist when he betrayed the welfare and betterment of humanity and mother earth to stuff a little more change into his pockets thus ultimately ensuring him as the richest man of all time. and he gave this dirty money (oh, no not all of it of course) to philanthropic causes to soothe his conscience.. or was it more just for PR, which surely worked because we idolize him and completely ignore the serious and inextricably intrusive white collar crimes..
ReplyDeletejust my beginning thoughts, as i said, i need to do much more research into this topic to really formulate an opinion.
