Mm. I am using organise in a more abstract sense. Perhaps, a better way of putting it would be that politics underpins how our societies/groups/families/races/schools/clubs/governments etc etc, are organised. Politics is the name we give to the stuff we do when we interact as human beings: reciprocity, co-operation, hierarchies, place within the group - all these things are what have evolved into 'politics'. We separate 'politics' from our day to day life because we have in modern culture separated 'home' from 'world'. But politics is just the ultimate expression of the tribal/pack interactions which we (along with other species) have found so profitable.

Yeah, it seems the extremes, right or left, are the ones most anxious to "organize" every group... make the rules and set the direction/goals.

Dana, that's the broadest definition of politics I've even read. :haha:

It's a democracy disguised as a monarchy.


btw, in UK politics, bllue = conservative right, red = liberal left. it's like driving...

Btw, you foreigners can vote too.

Interesting.
I just wonder if "the rest of the world" dislikes the phrase
as much as I do.

He is though. If anyone is it's him.

I just don't need to hear it again and again and again.
It wasn't necessary in that context anyway.

How about if I, in every post, told people I'm on the front desk at EEA. Hey, deliveries, visitors and phone calls are screwed when I'm not there!

Nope. People who work with me know that. There's no point in mentioning it.

Probably the most powerful person in the world is the head of the Saudi royal family. He who controls the oil, controls the world. Without oil to run it, our military would be powerless to engage in its current adventures "making the world safe for democracy." :eyebrow:

True, but the Saudis are not all of OPEC, and OPEC does not control %100 of the worlds supply.

True. The last I heard, the majority of our foreign oil imports are from Canada. So, maybe the Canadian Prime Minister is the most powerful person in the world. Go Maple Leaves! ;)

We import the most oil from Canada refine it and send most of that back. Most of the oil we consume/use/waste/whatever does not come from there.

know what scares me? Old women drivers. Old women drivers who think Barak Obama is an A-rab.

I much prefer "the hand that rocks the cradle, rocks the world".

Maybe it's natural to organize ourselves, taking into account that for every organizer, there's a herd of followers who just want to be organized.

It's the natural course of events. ;)

What? He's not? :eek:
