Rantings of a Lunatic

I haven’t researched it, I just found it in one of my many RSS feeds. I love the principal of it at least. I need to check into it to see who wrote it, who is following it, and if it is actually affiliated with Obama in any way. Aside from that though, I think if it is real, it is the first step in truly democratizing our government. I understand that our government was written in a fashion that was right for its time, regarding representation. My question is, has that changed? Is two people from a state really enough to control the senate and put forth the wishes of the public? We are living in in an age where a large population of our society has access to the internet. Can we not tap into that availability and make the government utilize it to help shape and make these decisions? I understand there are parts of the nation that don’t have the internet penetration that we take for granted here, but does that mean that we shouldn’t have a government that is willing to step into the future and make its own processes open and transparent and accessible?

Well, I promised a review, and honestly I liked it so much that I have been holding off so that I wouldn’t have to give any spoiler alerts. And until I really write what I think, and can feel free doing so while talking in specifics, see Ken’s blog. I completely dis-agree with him about Batman Begins. I loved that movie, and I think at the time that was probably my favorite Batman movie. Just awesome. But he is right on every point on the new one. And honestly, I hadn’t ever been bothered by Bale’s voice in the last one, but in this one it really caught me as just too much.
