Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Decision-Making Methods

[R Philip Dowds (rpdowds]

But ... for most of us, all of our choices are a forced choice exercise.  
Perhaps a few of us can afford a great health care plan in old age, a chalet in 
Switzerland, a new parish hall for our church, custom-made shoes, and a 
Palomino pony.  But most of us, including me, and including my community, have 
to prioritize and choose.  This, but not that.  The interesting part is, How do 
we do this as a community?  The point I sought to make was, How the inevitable 
forced choice is described and defined, is vitally important.  For either 
rating or ranking.
