It's a mistake to think that we have to reduce everything, including politics,
always and necessarily to a battle between groups of people, each of which is
trying to force everyone else by any possible means to do what they say we
SPOZED to do.

In the sane version of events, we are careful to try our hardest to find out
what the best thing to do at any particular point is, and we then do it, not
because we spozed to, but because it's the best we can do.

Which American President was it who said, "Well, we're going to try this, and
see if it works; and if it doesn't work, why, we'll try something else."?

It's WE who say that you ain't SPOZED to think like that, because of what I
called the 'lure of certainty'. But in a complex world, in any one of a
variety of circumstances, it may be our only hope.

And we can surely be willing to understand the virtues of being flexible in
teaching and learning to play the clarinet.
