Nice piece. Pretty accurate. Shows most of the major players organized by interest area.

I should probably be on this list, but since I don’t COMPLAIN, but instead try to solve the PROBLEM of heterogeneous political cooperation post-majority rule, I guess that I don’t qualify. 🙂

But whining doesn’t solve anything. Any lazy oaf can complain. Any romantic can wish for the past. Any fool can fail to see the change that information and industrial prosperity and consumer capitalism have forced into our social economic and political relations. Any idiot can advocate that his preferred political model is the optimum political model for all others – that there is a ‘common good’ where we have common ends, instead of common goods that allow us to cooperate on means despite having conflicting ends.

So yes. I’m jealous. 🙂

(PS: Tongue in cheek: the fact that I’m whining here is an act of self deprecating humor… ok? I’m not that dim. 🙂
