Don't you sometimes just wish...

[DanaC]

The idea of being able to put across the whole of an idea, in total, without being limited to words on a page appeals to me. I find discussions on gender, in particular, quite frustrating. It's such a complex topic, and in order to make some of the points that I'd like to make, I'd need to either write a book on here, or list a bibliography of texts.

It's like trying to explain a complex mathematical equation, that should cover three blackboards, in a few lines. Doesn't compute.

By the same token, I find economics a really tough subject to get my head around. particularly, when talking about tax in America, and especially so when the people talking are coming from the Right. I'd like to understand more where they're coming from. But, a little like the gender question, the base knowledge isn't there and it would take several economics text books to get me close.
