Of course I'm unclear. Nobody understands politics or economics or
human dynamics; all you can do is wonder and marvel at the complexity
and contradictions. That's why engineers and scientists agree on
things, but economists and sociologists don't. I'm pretty good with
electronics, but can't pretend to be able to predict next month's
weather or the consequences of political acts. People who *do* think
that they fully understand these things are the ones smoking stuff.
