POPSGerrymandering: The Two-parties working together! It seems the two parties can co-operate just fine! Unfortunately that only seems to be when it's in the interest of the politicians themselves and, of course, their 'actual' constituents...

POPSRe-Think Your Paradigms! For example... Corporations as Legal Individuals? Is this a law of nature? How about the nature of banking and currencies? Is this also fixed in nature for all time and all conditions? Or does system design matter? http://CulturalEngineer.blogspot.com http://www.Chagora.com
