Granularity - Micro Patterns

Granularity - Micro Patterns

Here are a handful of discernible patterns.

• Fahrenheit 9/11, movie by Michael Moore, makes the point that none but one member of Congress who voted for the Iraq War had children in the military.  They were willing to send other children to fight but not their own children.
• A similar pattern is that very few Presidents, Vice Presidents, or Secretaries of Defense have male children.  Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, George W Bush, and Dick Cheney are examples.
• Richard Nixon abandoned his Quaker, pacifist, origins.  Dwight Eisenhower abandoned his Mennonite, pacifist, origins.  George W Bush abandoned his free enterprise origins.
