I'm no David Hume expert, but I think what he was saying was that it's all a matter of probability. That's what we live by -- likelihood, not certainty. As my wife and I watched Obama's inauguration this morning, the tears and the goosebumps came, subsided and came again throughout the whole spectacle but particularly during his somber eloquent speech.
And I thought: No guarantee of a good outcome now, only a greater probability, just as whatever Bush undertook, no matter how easy and beneficial it seemed at inception, was fraught with disaster.
As the wise man said: When Bush offers to pour you some coffee, pray for asbestos balls.
