4th May. Real Change - Yeah Right...

For some, the dream of an independent Scotland is one step closer, for others they slept through the whole process. In Isabelle's case, quite literally.

Now it's all over, bar the back scratching, back stabbing and news leaks. To my mind it's a repeat of the successes of the early 70's when support for independence boiled down to teenagers signing up for, at that time, the round purple badges to pin alongside Donny Osmond, Marc Bolan et al.

For all the difference it's going to make we may as well have elected Ziggy Stardust as the new First Minister.

When will people realise that until the entire world is governed by Google, Human Beings will continue much as they always have. It's become clear that we haven't done terribly well in managing our affairs here on this particular planet.

It's no use Political Parties pandering to short term interest. Real Change? Don't you mean REAL change?

A strict regulation of all sexual contact, with population figures slashed to pre-Iron Age levels in a single generation.

The Internal Combustion Engine outlawed.

How can this be achieved?

Quite simply, everyone over the age of 5 is fitted with an implant in the brain that monitors their every movement, with the additional facility of controlling how they feel.

For example 'On Thursday last you did not take your glass for recycling during the allotted time slot for Sector 23, you will suffer an excruciating headache for 16 hours.'

It's nice to see that your optimism remains on high.

My philosophy is simple: If you want different result, you have to try a different method. (Chaos models excepted.)

Nothing may change a result of Thursday's election.

But now at least we have given ourselves the opportunity.

Of course you won't remember the days when Politics consisted simply of "Maggie, Maggie, Maggie; Out! Out! Out!"

Everything would be right in the firmament once a Labour government had been installed.

Everything can only be right once power has been wrested from Humanity either by Skynet or the arrival of Aliens who've already been there, done that and bought the T-shirt.

Thanks for stopping by. I knew that about Hippos. But only because the Discovery Channel told me so.

I hope your weekend is going well.

Glad I didn't vote for you.

To reduce population levels from 5 Billion to 50 million in one generation, it's not that difficult. That's 5000/50 a factor of 100. Are you with me?

So out of 100 people we're looking to produce one child but it takes two to tango so 1 in 50 couples could have one child.

Of course Google would look after the whole process of selection, bearing all the criteria in mind.
