The New Age Politics

"not about the guy from New Jersey"

Osmosis: the diffusion of molecules through

a semipermeable membrane, from a place

of high concentration to a place of low, until

both sides are equal. Got that!

So how do we effect change

without shunting our affections for old

habits? If you want a new way

you gotta punt the old sows.

Osmotic: an external pressure applied

to prevent osmosis from occurring.

Special interests, money changers,

old boys, donkeys and pachyderms.

Oz: an unreal magical land.

Democracy in action.

No matter how small a town you live in you can't escape it. The comedy act going on in this country is pure popcorn and a lot of stupidity to go along with that. I like it Ken.

sadly not just your country Duff. Though I will agree you guys have given the wheel of crazy a mind boggling spin

[duff]

Oh I agree. Its everywhere but we're giving crazy a run for its money at the moment. Strange times

Oz is real here in my bubble, but other than that I totally agree. Democracy almost makes it impossible to sustain itself, at least when conducted by greedy, self-serving (most politicians) humans.
At the heart lies the idea of a hippie commune, utopia and oz... one is also subject to the baser instincts of human nature, eventually. There other two are arguably not real. At least, out there.
What is a not very good at self governing species supposed to do now?
I LOVE the science woven into the art, my favorite fusion. It really is.

is indeed. in ontario we just finished municipal elections monday. whopping 27% turnout. in my particular town, not a single new face elected. shortest serving member of council has been there 8 yrs. but people also shouting about change. I have seen glaciers melt quicker
