Funny Twin To Twin Sayings

Merry Whatever the odd man

original seems to me (at the time, the novel is 1969) that the argument has as its central element which is a microorganism and not a bug with nave, ciborium and duplex arms in whatever comes to moon kill us, but what was ...

* The U.S. government is behaving more diligent than usual and activates a special equipment for this occasion, an infection of extraterrestrial origin Wildfire. Its aim is to find a vulnerability to 'Andromeda', the microbicho in question, while sealed in a lab with 3 fun stuff: a couple of survivors at the first point of virus infection (a people), an organism not like nothing I've found a funny man and nuclear self-destruct if the thing is chaos.

should not say over what happens in the novel, but if you want to talk about "the odd man."

Among the investigators is a person slightly more important than others. It is not for their knowledge, as emphasized in the novel. Nor is it because you know something that others do not. It is important because it is' the odd man. " The lords of the USA do some studies by the Rand Corporation and is shown ** that in cases of crisis the most reliable person to take and implement decisions of command is a single man but X years.

There is that.

Although later in the novel explains that such a RAND Corporation study is filthy lie ** and has been removed from the sleeve to justify putting in the hands of such a small group of people a nuclear device. Apparently the power to rein in the worst case an alien body with the potential to destroy all life is not enough for the military with more nuclear firecrackers on the planet.

This made me think about the necessity of having a 'guilty' in case things go wrong. No? In the event that the gizmo would not work always an unequivocal guilty that throwing the dead.

Man appears be in serious cases need to point the finger at one person or small group of people and able to scream 'have been them "to wait for the subsequent stoning. And as I have seen, this happens even when there can be guilty (and will comment on another post as it is impossible to predict the biggest snowfall of the past 20 years CONAS a week ahead ... for now just try to faults) . For more visual was an episode of CSI Las Vegas where the alleged murder of a girl is not wrong for a series of small coincidences and events linked to this particular form end with the death accidental. The parents of the girl, after the explanation and sample test by forensic super burst of anger and threaten to find the real culprit ... when there is none.

if something seems also that we are good at is brown drain or at least shared. If there can be blame for many, but they play less. Open any newspaper and find stories on any judicial process open. And count the total of guilty by the accused. I bet the left hand passing, 5.

Maybe that's why we sometimes have to scapegoat marked time, is simply to reassure the desire for revenge (not justice can not have both at the time many times.) And maybe also why we can not take as fast as we would like sometimes change our 'guilty / responsible' and we cling to the idea of \u200b\u200b' Damocles' a person from foolproof.

Or maybe not, "a philosopher in the room for me to talk about it? OST
