Perhaps it is a continuum. Put directing the energy on the 75 mark on
the scale, "will take care of itself" on the 25 mark. At zero put
laissez-faire; at 100 put Hitler and Stalin. Or make it a circle and we
all have a spot on the rim...but we are all in the circle. Where does
that get us with your first question?

And what does it suggest toward your second question?
