Re: [xmca] Unconstrained choices and a proposal

[Andy Blunden <ablunden@mira.net>]

Huw, nice try, but the Marquis de Condorcet showed 2 or 3 hundred years 
ago that you can't achieve consensus by voting, and you certainly can't 
decide philosophical questions by voting. In my days as a union 
delegate, when we had a large number of people trying to resolve a 
complex question, and there was a wide spread of opinions, we'd pick two 
people on opposite poles of the problem and tell them to go away and 
find a solution that they both agreed on and bring it back to the full 
group. Complex problems require concrete solutions.
