Number One Reason For Bad Decisions

This blog is a repeat, but there are somethings that have to be repeated until they sink in.  This is one.  Most of us have made decisions that were good ones, but many were not.  When we look at those that were not good decisions, there is a common factor that seems to come to the top of the list.  With all the problems that our new college graduates are having finding jobs, many are examples of the kinds of bad decisions that I am talking about.

First off, all decisions are between "alternatives".  That means that your decision is between which "alternative" to chose.  If "all" the possible choices or alternatives are on your list, then it stands to reason that the best or correct alternative is some where on the list.  The challenge is then to pick that best alternative.  This is where most of us put our efforts, but there can be a problem with this process.  Now, what is that?..It turns out that most people pick the best alternative on their list, but still end up with a bad decision.  The reason is the "number one reason for bad decisions".  The best alternative was "never" on the list in the first place.  Failure to have all the alternatives on the list is the main reason for bad decisions.  There are other reasons, like not picking the best alternative off the list when it is "on" the list.  What this is, is a build up for my main point.

If your decision is about "who Obama really is" and all the alternatives are not on your list, then the decision process that you go thru may not end up with the correct decision.  If your list does not include the "possibility" that Obama is a Judas, it is my position that you just may not come up with the correct decision.  My recommendation is that you put the "possibility" that Obama is a Judas on your list and then pass it thru your regular decision making process.  If you reject Obama as being a Judas, OK, but the "possibility" needs to be there.

Another, point in how you consider alternatives is in two parts.  First, what are the chances of this alternative actually happening?  Second, what is the impact or cost of that alternative if it happens?  If the chances are small and the cost small, don't give it too  much weight.  If, on the other hand, the chances are small, but the cost is very high, give it a lot more consideration.  Global Warming is one of those types of alternatives.  The chances seem low, but the cost looks like it could be very high.  It is the same way with Obama being a Judas.  The chances of a USA President being a Judas like Hitler is small, but the cost would be very very high.  For that final reason, you need to think about the possibility that Obama is a Judas.  If you act on the basis that Obama is a Judas, what does it cost the USA?  Not very much.  If you do not act and Obama is a Judas, you risk everything.  Could I make it more simple?

Watch the news and look at what Obama has been doing and see if you can put together any scenario other than the fact that Obama is a Judas that will connect the dots.  Why else would he be doing the things that he is doing?  Who does it help or hurt and why?  The only way that I can answer all the strange things that Obama has been doing is that Obama is a Judas.  When Germany woke up to what Hitler had done to them, it was too late and it will be the same here as long as we keep our eyes and minds closed to the alternative that Obama is a Judas.
