Flip-flopping, philosophically
Sunday, 13 July 2008

Shasta daisy, The Botanist says, which apparently has a nasty odor, but I didn’t notice that….
I’ve been thinking about these vociferous charges of flip-flopping rife in the media, finding them ill-considered, over-simplifying, and unsophisticated. Then, today, on the George [Long Name] show, I heard, of all people, Arnold Schwarzenegger say:
Flip-flopping is getting a bad rap.
He went on to say it’s “wonderful” to change your mind after getting new data or thinking things through again.
Just what I was thinking.
