  • Moderation for adults is gonna be tough
    Who is going to submit to being under someone else’s control
    There are lots of tools available
    All require discipline to use consistently

    I have my own organizational scheme to reduce distractions
    No notifications on the desktop, Three hidden panels: Time/calendar/weather, Launchers, Virtual desktops/window switcher/system tray Different browser & email for different tasks
    Virtual desktops Money, doctors, work
    Music, books, games [no email or browser] News, critique of peoples opinions,
    Forums & sites I’m testing, repair info, linux stuff

    All the tabs on the different browsers relate to the purpose of the VD
    If I miss, I move whatever it is to where it “belongs”
    Keeps me from being stuck doing one thing too long or ignoring things I should spend time on


  • Think about how we got here
    Very early on we out sourced a big chunk of the election process to volunteers, fans, fanatics if you will. Why raise taxes to pay for elections?
    Parties took over the preliminary parts of the process in exchange for vetting potential candidates.

    OK so I’m guessing but, no one works for free
    The Pay may not be cash, power, influence, patronage are all nice.

    Money has always been speech
    Excess resources have always been required to have a meaningful political opinion

    The system was designed for information moving at the speed of horse at great expense
    The system was to serve 1% of the present population

    Damm thing works better than one would expect :D
