At this point in my life, I am struggling with whether it is better to judge things based on values of good or bad, or beautiful and ugly. I’m leaning towards value based on beauty.
Which do you think is more important? Productive?
Voting with yeas and nays seems like a really bad way to vote. Excluding voting in smaller meetings using Robert’s Rules of Order where there’s usually just some smart mouth saying “nay” for a laugh (me).
But think about Congress using a yea-nay vote to decide something important. What if the “yeas” are those big, loud, old Republican suits? They’re probably really good at projecting their voices.
I am highly recommending Ricky Gervais’s podcasts on iTunes.
I’ve listened to them all in a row and got high from laughing so much. He has this beautiful way of turning tragic things just slightly enough that we can laugh about them while still acknowledging the sadness.
