This One. Do This One. A Thesis on Rock Scissors Paper.

Rock Scissors Paper

Terrorism beats Capitalism.
Capitalism beats the Common Good.
Common Good beats Terrorism.

Establishment beats* Empowerment.
Empowerment beats Poverty.
Poverty beats Establishment.

More likely:

Some rocks, some scissors, some paper:


Some rocks, break some scissors,
Some scissors cut some paper,
Some paper covers some rocks.

Life is not a game. Simplistic rules fail.
Military solutions look easy
But long-term economics wins -
Micro-loans that helped start new businesses.
Does more for peace than war.

Nobel prize for microloans beats all
See ://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/2006/press.html/

No scissors cut all paper.
No paper
Covers all rocks.
No rock breaks all scissors.

Pretense:  one size fits all is easier.

Still, has its uses by analogy.
A game, a way of dominance: who wins.*
Even judges turn to it for answers.
Even judges do it. See ://msnbc.msn.com/id/13221673/?GT1=8211/
Is that what happens in chambers,
Despite all the pontificating?

A worldwide concept with its strategies.
See There is a Worldwide
Rock Scissors Paper, see ://www.netlaputa.ne.jp/%7Etokyo3/e/janken_e.html/.

Its rules endless - add configurations.
Additional options, see ://www.umop.com/images/hands.jpg/

The easy out is also amusing.
When labels don't fit, areas are gray.
The dominance game becomes more deadly.
Without fast ID on who is winner,
You must beat** the other person down.

Try these variations on the theme:



Roma, in Romania 


This man, and cart, Romania in view.
Could look forward to more choices; but he
Is at a disadvantage from rulers.

Try this for Venezuela:

Nationalism beats Capitalism.
Capitalism beats Common Good.
Common good beats Nationalism.

Or this:


Globalism beats Nationalism.
Nationalism beats Elitism.
Elitism beats Globalism.


Who the nationalist? Who terrorist?
Differentiate? Describe? Somebody, please!
