[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Why don't you help me understand what you mean then? Here are the two examples you gave: "[i]we're not pushing your kid very hard at the meetings with school X[/i]" and "[i]the reason we're not pushing is DH is a PITA[/i]." To me, those sound like a zero-sum game of pushing one child over another. If that's not what you meant, please help me understand you better. [/quote] A zero-sum game is when one individual/group's gain is exactly balanced by another individual/group's loss. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero%E2%80%93sum_game. This is obviously very different from the mechanics in the quote you clipped. Maybe it's because I have a math/econ background that it's obvious to me, but you also have a clear pattern of distorting/insulting instead of making arguments. I repeat - please, please go away and let the grownups talk.[/quote]
