Some interesting distributed networks (non-centrally controllable networks)

a claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence

PeggyLouBaldwin,

not voting for democrats is actively helping republicans

no, it’s not. only a vote for republicans helps republicans.

duverger’s “law” is a useless tautology.

PeggyLouBaldwin,

of course, if janis joplin wanted to sing a song about a mercedes benz, that song would be of great social and political import.
