Binary choices are very popular.

You never learn anything new from them.
I would think they would get tiresome to even their authors after awhile.

CJ, Such binary choices are extremely common in philosophy.

Characterizing the other size as extremist (i.e. binary) is very common in politics.

Like I said before, I'm not a libertarian, but I'd like to err on the side of more personal freedom. Seems like guys like yourself want to err on the side of the "collective good." A real slippery slope, if you asked me.

My wife is going for a PhD in Philosophy. We discuss her classes, especially the ones that aren't logic. The logic she handles pretty well, the other stuff, well...

I guess she wants to teach. I don't like philosophy....I think I told you we had a philosophy class last quarter. I am glad to hear she has trouble with it too. Why does she want to teach it?
