Hi, Jack ...

You had included, in a recent post, a description of the political parties I disagreed with. Kathy wondered why I had called a political classification political. I'm not sure why.

There was another recent post with a link to a "Center for American Progress" video "discussion" on "health care implementation" as an excellent example of "systems thinking". One could only think that if they brought their political bias to the table. There was nothing in the video suggesting any systems thinking had gone on. Problems were brought up. Solutions provided. No discussion of the connection between the problems, the root causes of the problems, or, perhaps, how government intervention - now offered as a solution - was part of that problem!

As has been said many times, it's interesting how the cause of many problems is continually offered as a solution to those problems!

Back to your post - I just disagreed with the classification. I didn't go any further.

Mike
