To satisfy the most skeptical reader, I herein present a few real life examples of the utlimate truth...
You are voting to elect your friendly neighborhood Member of Parliament...you need to choose one candidate from a list of 100...you are not sure of your first choice not asking money out of you to table your questions in Parliament...you are not sure of your second choice wanting to see the roads repaired...you are not sure of your third choice wanting to...yes the list is endless...or 100 whichever comes earlier...be that as it may...the fact of the matter being you really have no choice...the one who gets stamped by you...and keeps stamping upon you for the rest of the elected period...is a mere compromise...
So how is it that the sum of all compromises is a choice...Let us say that you have compromised on number 42, so does your neighbor and your neighbor's neighbor, ad communitum...or most of the community for that matter...and number 42 thus gets elected...and keeps stamping upon you and your neighbor and your neighbor's neighbor and also the neighbors who did not stamp on number 42...ad communitum...as the chosen one...QED...
Did you know that asking a sufficiently large number of people to choose a number between 1 and 100, would result in the number 42 being chosen by the majority...or should I say compromised...if you do not believe...try it out on your community...
