Governmental Expertise

If i were allowed to vote I'd vote for the most competent candidate who broadly shared my political and social stance. But competence is still a key component.

Digital democracy and community participation is, of course, all well and good but there is still such a thing as expertise. The guy off the street is not the equal of the guy with the Bachelors in Political Science and the Masters in Public Administration.





I hope there is still a distinction to be made between amateur and professional in this upcoming revolution.

Nothing to say ... other than that was fun

It’s time for Burns Night 2013 at Edinburgh Castle Pub on January 19, 2013.

Celebrate with the Scots on Burns Night with bagpipes, the haggis ceremony, whisky lashings and the poems and songs of Robert Burns, Scotland’s national poet.

Cover is $10, but once you’re in you’ll be treated to a free buffet spread out on their tables.
