Good afternoon Elmat, The beach is abandoned, pristine, and the water is aquamarine emerald, alternately lit by the sun, and shadowed by the storm clouds. I punished my wife, swam, slept on the floating buoy, drained by the tropical heat, ingested a Belgian Dark Chocolate ice cream by Haagen Dazs, and now feel about the same as that floating buoy, drifting if not anchored in place, ready for nap II, the sequel. <<The whole system has knowledge of the past. Give a little to everyone and pretty soon everyone has a cut of the deal and has no reason to "burn the desk". Hey!, don't even think about shuffle those papers for left to right. It will upset the whole scheme and my cut will be affected!>> I can be convinced that Revolutions are occasionally necessary in order to make genuine and giant-step progress, by wiping away the past in its entirety, resetting all scores, and readying the next <<desk>> for cubby-holing. This formula is the rule since the beginning of time, applicable to all manner histories, from biology to sociology, from economics to politics. The <<desk>> needs to be burned from within; else it gets done from without. The former has a better chance of giving rise to renewed vitality than the latter, whereas the latter often result in termination of a particular branch of history. The system of one-man-one-vote, while kinder and gentler in the short term (within a few generations), may in fact be detrimental to progress of particular branches of history, because it lacks the vitality of Revolution, the dynamic re-mixing of ingredients to give rise to brand new abracadabras. Well, it is a story, and I will stick to it for a while. Chugs, Jay
