In our litigious culture, the pragmatic solutions to problems are often overlooked or undervalued. Pragmatism asks us to understand how event B often follows and is correlated to event A. Factors that influence A will then often influence B without any extra muss or fuss. For example, abortions are often the natural consequence of unwanted pregnancies. Eliminate the latter and there will be no longer any need to for the supreme court to adjudicate the former. Arguments over marriage are often the consequence of ignorance of the fact that any group of people, regardless of age, gender, race, religion or ethnicity, can learn to create nurturing, healthy environments. Again, eliminate the ignorance and the supreme court becomes irrelevant. Actually, in all these matters they already are irrelevant, they just haven’t figured that out yet. Because no matter what habits of hatred, violence, greed, sloth, ignorance or gluttony they promulgate, people will survive and thrive. It cannot be that 9 stupid humans living their isolated lives in one puny city can so dominate an entire planet of sentient beings. Annoy and gadfly us how they will, they cannot govern us.
