Yelling bird's rant does make me wonder about the state of politics in the QC 'verse. For example, we know the political parties employ professional straw men. And how badly would they behave knowing there was a superior intelligence that could intervene if things got too out of hand? Would it make things worse, knowing that no matter how bad things got, someone could fix it, or would things be better, knowing that the benovolent sigularity AIs could pull a "Day the Earth Stood Still" if the politicos got too out of line?

It wasn't even Labour Day...

If I were a US citizen, I would be feeling pretty much like Jeph Yelling Bird. But at least he doesn't have to put up with Tony Abbott...

At the risk of delving into politics, I will say things aren't all that bad. No one has challenged a fellow legislator to a duel, or has crossed the isle to beat an opponent with his cane in a century or so. It has been much worse.

I mean at one point, the country split in half. That's about as bad as it gets.
