“One should not increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything.” William of Occam (1285-1349)
“Make things as simple as possible – but no simpler.” Albert Einstein
The simplest solution is often the correct one.
“KISS” Keep It Simple, Stupid
William of Occam was on to something: simpler explanations are better than complicated ones and using the term “razor” to refer to shaving away unnecessary assumptions to get to the simplest explanation is too cool. I should have been doing this years ago.
William of Georgia: Southern moderates would help this nation by openly stating what government shouldn’t do and what people should do. (My government name is actually William Terence)
Is that simple enough? People talk about JFK all the time but fail to remember his classic quote “ask not what this country can do for you, but what you can do for this country.” Heaven knows the Left means well with their efforts to find governmental remedies for every problem in the world. Here’s an idea: have few problems. Heaven knows the Right is also well-intended with their tough love/disciplinarian approach for those in need. However, someone gets fat on their watch also.
When the Right produces Black congressional candidates, they say the same mean-spirited rhetoric as their brethren and it does not play well in my community. Liberal candidates can be equally detrimental with their promises and hopes that government can save us…from us. I listened to every word candidate Obama said and rarely did he give the impression that this presidency would miraculous improve our lives. He spoke of creating conditions favorable for achievement for those ready to focus and work hard. Obama actually sounded like Newt Gingrich but people’s eyes were too gazed over with pure affection to hear his plan. If you want to be like the Obamas, keep your game tight like the Obamas.
The natural dip in the president’s poll numbers reflect the awaking of those new to politic and policy. There won’t be a Ford in every garage because your home is in foreclosure since you tried to buy a 200K house on a 31K salary. Is that any president’s fault or did you sleep in high school econ class.
William of Georgia’s Razor: Change Washington by producing congressional candidates or incumbents who simple encourage people to plan lives that function and prosper with minimum governmental involvement.
Execute home economics…plan families…conserve energy…build a nestegg…stay out of court and jail…diet and exercise to avoid the healthcare system…don’t believe D.C. can help…listen to your elders’ wisdom…trust heaven.
