I do not know who Alan Metzler is, but I never embrace any one person's ideas. The reason is that I have found we are all sort of nuts and no one knows all the truth about social sciences.

So the first thing I look for is, is the person sane-lol. I try to find people to learn from who seem both knowledgable and sane. Sanity is a big requirement for me.

I do not think the neo cons are sane-lol.

When I was young I developed an equation to judge the soundness of ones thinking.

I used three varibales: education, sanity and natural ability. I gave each variable a value between .01 and 1.

So say a person is a 1 in education e.g. PHD and a 1 in natural ability, 200 IQ, but is .01 in sanity i.e. the person is nuts-lol.

Then 1 X 1 X .01 = .01. So as smart and educated as they are it does them no good as they are nuts.

Cheers,
