[Mb-civic] SCIENCE , SOCIETY & RELIGION: The Rule of Threes

[Jack Sullivan]

In Latin the concept of three is expressed: "Numquam duo, raro uno, semper
tres."
(Never two, rarely one, always three) Missionaries left Ireland to Africa
under such a dictum...less argument. more balance, two against one in a
disagreement.
