    Hi David M.

    You asked: "What would the world be like if everyone understood and accepted the
    limitations of SOM and were MOQers?

    OR:

    What would the world be like if everyone understood and accepted the
    limitations of SOM and were pragmatists?"

    Great questions and I won't attempt to answer either. But I will say that the latter world seems preferable. I think you can be a little of both (pragmatist and MOQite) but the pragmatist offers to me more flexibility and freedom of thought. It allows me to change my mind from one day to the next. And as someone who can never make up his mind, this does offer some advantages. Of course neither world would be very close to utopian without a little sauce to help massage our anxieties associated with making any choice, so I sympathize with your plight and will plead with your wife on your behalf to quit hiding the whiskey. ;)
