All Right, Have it Your Way

David L Dahl Blog 0 0

“You’re not being fair!” the child wailed. His mother sighed.  It was one of those days. She was down to her last nerve, and Junior had just tweaked it.  Granted, it was a minor spat. On any other day she’d just laugh and move on, but today – well, today it exploded into a major battle of wills.

However, the saying is as true for society as it is for mathematics. Case in point. After every tragedy, we stampede to our appointed corners.
