[ExI] perfect sense in some circumstances... was: RE: Dark Energy and Causal Cells

[William Flynn Wallace]

Can you think of circumstances where casino betting would make perfectly
good sense?  Assume one finds no recreational value in gambling - spike

1 - NO.  If no recreational value, no gambling makes any sense (unless you,
like me, are on a boat full of volunteer firemen who have no clue as to the
odds on rolling dice, and are just as likely to bet on a 4 as a 6 - cleaned
them out in less than a hour - I was called a poor sport for not betting on
a 4 when that was what I rolled - "Yeah, you just roll and bet -that's the
game".  Well, my game was to take the money and run.  No bets on low odds.
I almost never bet on my own point - just bet on others' throws.)

can you think of circumstances where a second marriage makes perfectly good
sense?

2 - Yes.  Plenty of reasons for a second marriage - enjoy monogamy,
security, love, money, children - i.e. all of the reasons for a first
marriage.  What are you thinking?
