one would have a different set of standards, even for "good" politics,

Looking back on the history of wars and economic development, the benefit

In the world right now, it is a fact that some people's opinions are
better than others.
It is also a fact that some policies can only be understood by
a small part of people. This must be included in a political system
in some way.
Absolute democracy, which means everyone's opinion has the same weight,
can seriously hold back a nation's development. Because individual's
opnions are like statistically random, if they have the same weight,
then the sum of them is cl

也找不到.
对政治有一点“真实”和“好”的要求绝不虚妄,虽然要求"纯粹的,完美的政治真实和好
"是虚妄
的. 政治和人类社会的问题缺乏数学甚至自然科学的确定性,并不说明都是不确定性的.与
自然科学做个类比,对"真实"的要求有两种:真的事实,和正确的理论.
所谓"真的事实"是指,CLINTON是否和MRS.莱 HAVE A SEX RELATIONSHIP; NIXON是否窃听
了民主党,XXX是否贪污了YYY等等. 有些事实是可以确认的,有些则缺乏足够的证据和信息
,但要求这样的真并不虚妄.
"正确的理论"是说政治家提出的一项政策其目标是否合理(相对于我的利益和信念),其结
果是否能够实现目标(他是不是在说谎). 对这样的东东,要确认其真假比较难.首先,不同
的人有不同的利益需求; 其次,最终的判断只能是事后诸葛亮式的; 最后,人类社会的复杂

ultimate goal is generally to prove his/her opinion right, word-play
and logic-twisting is usually harmless. But in political arguements
the results often involve factual benefits and losses. I was reading
the newspaper today, on one side there is a report on how Americans
are stunned and agnoized about American POW being televised in Arabian
TV, quoting one |
