Assuming either the Left Wing or the Right Wing gained control of the country, it would probably fly around in circles.

The pencil is mightier than the bunker-buster

"The authority of the civil defense ... issued a warning to the civilian population not to pick up any of those pencils because they are booby traps," he said, adding that the British and American forces were "immoral mercenaries" and "war criminals" for such behavior.
"I am not talking about the American people and the British people," he said. "I am talking about those mercenaries. ... They have started throwing those pencils, but they are not pencils, they are booby traps to kill the children."

Heard said by a retired General commenting on the war on CNN:

There are two kinds of plans: those that might work and those that won't work. You have to pick one that might work and make it work.

Sounds like everything I ever did, although sometime I picked plans that wouldn't have worked no matter what. I think this relates to my other favorite old adage:

Good judgement comes from experience.
Experience comes from bad judgement.

On this basis, if you need a planner, hire me.
