Ever hear of "Arrow's Impossibility Theorem"?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow's_impossibility_theorem

"Arrow's theorem says that if the decision-making body has at least
two members and at least three options to decide among, then it is 
impossible to design a social welfare function that satisfies all 
these conditions at once."

I bet Rob has really grown to appreciate Rick Nelson's song,
"Garden Party".
