[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] I'm guessing that "whole english" is something like the "whole word method", the bane of elementry public schools. They don't teach phonics any more, where you learn each letter's sound, and thus can figure out any word you run across. Now they teach you to recognize each WORD, in and of itself, with no understanding of why the word says what it says. The result is that if you run into a word that you've never had anyone explain to you, you're screwed. [i]So, your contention is that one should always do what one thinks is best, even if it means doing the opposite of what's in the gospels?[/i] My contention is that there are situations in which all choices are in opposition to the gospel. The trick is to stay out of those situations to begin with. Strictly speaking, perhaps Bush should resign, because his job requirements are in opposition to his religion, but then you end up with the same conundrum: he'd be leaving the people he's sworn to protect out in the cold. He's stuck in an unwinnable situation, so he does what he has to do. This is one reason I decided NOT to go into politics. I don't like no-win scenarios. Especially when you can't cheat.
