  • Local politician … a member of town council but also a character that just hung onto any and all political positions related to local politics. He never did much expect make money for himself. If he didn’t get on council, he would try for mayor, and if he got neither, Financial Controller, Administrator, Manager, whatever, as long as it was with the town. He was in essence a salesman because he could talk circles around most people with political language and a bit of education, especially when he dealt with the uneducated or gullible people. It was basically his entire career and he’s well on his way to retiring after having done nothing for anyone else or the town.








  • Isaac Newton put it best:

    “I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”

    It’s completely stupid, short sighted and ignorant of us to think that we know everything there is know about the universe and natural world. There is still so much more to learn about and understand and probably far more than we can even comprehend.

    But we also have to regulate how much we know and don’t know and how we can understand or not understand … because as Richard Feynman put it …

    “Keep an open mind … but not so open that your brain falls out”






  • Capitalism and profit and the need to make more money is like rot, a fungus, a bacterial infection or a viral infection.

    Any service product or idea you tie to capitalism will inevitably become infected to the point where you infection of wanting to make money will over ride everything. In the end, it has nothing to do with ideas, development, evolution or making things … it always devolves down to just wanting to make as much money as possible.

    That is what destroys and devolves any and all social media today. It has nothing to do with social media … it has everything to do with making money and maximizing profits.
