Much like AGW.

Gleick's "Genius" was far superior to his earlier book, "Chaos". One dealt with the complexity of a very complex man, the other tried to do inflate in importance the interesting but unimportant movement of a butterfly's wings.; 11/22/09, 5:52 PM

Generally speaking, John, I could not agree with you more. I am wondering, however, how you see our current President?

Just three posts down, he is being called out rather ungraciously for just such traits.; 11/22/09, 6:12 PM
john said...: Penny,

Thanks for reading. I wasn't making a point about Obama. But since you asked, I think our president is becomming a rather predictable fellow.; 11/22/09, 6:37 PM
Penny said...: "I wasn't making a point about Obama."

But why not? I have to ask you, John, if your last comment, "I think our president is becomming a rather predictable fellow." doesn't have more to do with what you described as "the interesting but unimportant movement of a butterfly's wings."?; 11/22/09, 8:04 PM
