Mmmm, I seem to be suffering from a ‘dry spell’ when it comes to blogging.
Hopefully a couple of neurons will fire off soon and generate something useful, or useless, I don’t really mind!
Why is Kansas City in Missouri? Shouldn’t it be in Kansas?
This is another one of those thoughts in my series ‘Totally Random Stuff I Think About From Time To Time!”
It occurs to me that with the explosion of ‘interconnectedness’ brought about by social networks and the internet in general that it is we, the human race that are becoming the ‘computer’. I wonder how long it will be before our own interactions create it’s own sense of ‘awareness’.
Shades of monster from “Forbidden Planet’ maybe?
I wonder if the solution to destroying it will be the same as well?

If my call is so important to you, why am I on hold ?
It is my opinion that democracy only really works when there is a considerable IMBALANCE in the power structure. When both (or all) political parties are pretty much evenly balanced as far as representatives are concerned then what you end up with is a stale mate. A legislature where nothing much of anything worth while gets done (this of course assumes politicians do something worth while in the first place which is a WHOLE other topic!).
When one party dominates the political system at least stuff gets done and laws get passed. You might not like the party or the laws they pass but you can always vote them out the next time around.
Great things are achieved from a position of power. Negotiation implies compromise and that means everyone will be equally unhappy with the outcome, ultimately resulting in further confrontation.
