Israeli Arrogance?

Because what actually happens, in reality, is impacted by variables which people have no control over and cannot anticipate, ambitious…

Computing the Cost of a Life
I remember a discussion I had with some professor in the school of engineering. We debated if their curriculum should or should not include an ethics course.
