[quote:Anonymous Coward 27655287:MV8yMDUxODc1XzM0NDg0MDY0X0EyQTdEOEMx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 27725111:MV8yMDUxODc1XzM0NDg0MDQyXzc5RjIxRjc2] politics and CNN reports is devolving politics is an imaginary game where small groups are handed power to make rules and decisions over the many with little say other than choosing the rulers (you don't chose the important rules you have to follow, you may sometimes get to vote but who knows how fair/reliable the voting machines are). [/quote] and we DO NOT need this anymore. whats this thing that people need a leader so bad? i mean.. today we have all the tools necessary. imagine an oficial 100% transparent website where everybody can login and talk about the problems in your neighbourhood, share ideas, and then ultimately VOTE on it. why do we let these bunch of crooks choose whats 'good' for us?? we are all such babies ey...

It is no longer a purely "conspiracy" or "lunatic fringe" site. There is a lot more on "down-to-earth" or more orthodox topics like relationships or politics recently.
Some think this is bad but I'm not so sure. In many ways it seems like the "conspiracy" world has become limited. All the classic conspiracies have been talked about over and over and as a community we've reached the end of the line.
I see the new, more "realistic" GLP as a good thing. People are getting engaged with real stuff instead of spinning wild theories that are really more like fantasy.
This is a relfection of the fact that the "real world" has become more insane over the past few years, without a doubt. All the stuff that sounded "crackpot" is no longer crackpot, its simple fact. Maybe its not only that GLP has moved towards a realistic stance - its also that reality has become freakier and more GLPish.
Thoughts?
