"The best way to learn from mistakes is to recognize them, point them out, learn from them. and illiminate the them".......................I respectfully disagree. IMVHO, it is best to educate those individuals you would place into authority with countless years of very much and well documented history of trajedies long past. If one needs to examine every new disaster after the fact as you say. Should I expect the human race to continue after armageddon ?
"The best way to learn from mistakes is to recognize them, point them out, learn from them. and illiminate the them".......I also found this response rather intriguing after reading of your past experiences and seemingly impressive credentials from your own website. Interesting to me is how this very logistical response from you seems to run contrary from the general ideology of Free Republic. Perhaps it is wise to know ones adversaries prior to ones posting of his/her opinions on this board.
