Communism

[Braid Anderson]

With bankers controlling - and making a right mess of - the Capitalist world, Communism should have taken over in a shoe-in, but for its one huge mistake. It should have declared itself as a Religion, with the Creator as Deity, and Marx and Lenin as its main Prophets!

I thought North Korea had already done that Braid. In my opinion without wanting to start a ruckus I think JC was the first of the historical recorded ones, many instances in parallel to original communism thinking is found in the Good Book. Cheers John S

The concept of Communism may be good but there are still those at the top of the tree who rule the remainder. No matter how hard man tries there will never be a system that satisfies all.

[j.sabourn]

Makes one wonder why the real communist countries have never asked for their real considered father of communism Karl Marx who is buried somewhere in London, why his remains have never been asked for. JS

[Braid Anderson]

You hit the nail on the head there John. Modern 'democratic' politicians have forgotten what Sir Winston said re "Democracy is about the greatest good for the greatest number." Nowadays small but influential pressure groups rule the roost. The politicians say to themselves that most of their party's voters will vote for them anyway, whatever they do within reason. So do something for the pressure group that can get them over the line, and stay in power, whatever that pressure group's policies may be.

Researchers have discovered the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks.

Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.
A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.

In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration.

This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass. When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.

Your #6 is the most accurate and astute description of todays governments I have ever seen and should be made compulsory reading for all the yahoo's studying Political Science {whatever that is} at Universities.

Muchas gracias Jaun,

Brilliant description of Washington (both parties) as well as Westminster, well done.

Hi All.
Politicians are people who think that only their jobs are important. so says my wife.
Cheers Des
