exhausting is how pe...I think the thing that is so <br />exhausting is how personally people take politics-it's actually the most irrational behavior of humans.<br /><br />And of course it doesn't help that the govt uses it to their own advantage to manipulate the irrational.<br /><br />The problem with this country which is a really good reason for the apathy or complacency-and I put my very bright good friends in this area-is that because well, our lives are not as bad as Chileans during Pinochet or the Russians under Lenin, that things are 'just okay here', even though they are not. <br /><br />So despite the fact that we're supposed to be a country of bright young things, this is all redundant because human beings are inherently irrational, so irrational that logic and commonsense flies, flies out of the window.<br /><br />So when you're dealing with irrationality, how do you make sense for the rational to at least show some light?<br /><br />This is why I'm so into visual data and not all this talk and more writting. <br /><br />Show em how it works.<br /><br />The government-a government regardless how Right-Wing runs like a huge corrupt non for profit organisation. It has a profit and loss account. The UK has a profit and loss account.<br /><br />When a new govt comes into power-every 4 years or so (if a new one does)it recreates a new business plan. A new budget.<br /><br />This country-business-has been running for centuries. If a normal business that is non for profit that is HUGE had been running for a long time, you wouldn't ignore the past profit and loss accounts and simply concentrate on a completely new business plan!<br /><br />But this is what we do in this country! We act in the most irrational way about history that we don't like-slavery was HUGELY profitable and paid for a lot of infrastructure (roads, buildings etc), like any OTHER revenue would do in a business-and we behave as this there is no such thing as accountability and really this governement is run on ideas and opinion..<br /><br />It's mind bogling.<br /><br />When you ignore a bit of a profit and loss account you don't like in business, you will more sooner than not go under and when you're dealing with non for profits with triple bottom lines-social good, welfare etc, well....<br /><br />But it's not good for the government to offer this information-as logical as it is-to the public because it means they'll realise voting right or left is possibly the most irrational thing you can do when you're a country of right, left and in between.<br /><br />So yes I think you need to bring in more women, ethnic minorities etc because that's when true innovation appears. <br /><br />Ideas flourish or grow on an equal playing field, not in a field with people who all look, think, act and speak the same from the same school and backrgounds.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07239553236804761905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152955814546861725.post-40486813434040641832009-10-29T11:26:48.934+00:002009-10-29T11:26:48.934+00:00Thanks, I'm glad - all the long words started ...Thanks, I'm glad - all the long words started losing me...Oranjepanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08150901449640162740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152955814546861725.post-72917266715981740372009-10-29T10:55:31.687+00:002009-10-29T10:55:31.687+00:00IAWTPIAWTPJennie Rigghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14893281560181289667noreply@blogger.com
