State of Democracy

Wow.  Look at this.
We're not even allowed to talk about what we see.  The Ministry of Truth won't have it.

We suspect that voting machine and computer shenanigans are a problem?  Facebook knows that they can swing enough votes just by controlling information, what's allowed to be shared or discussed and what isn't.  No one needs to hack a computer.

All that has to happen is the "neutral" media debate moderators simply avoid asking *any* questions in areas related to the unfavored candidate's strengths.

Hi Julie. The isn't pertinent to your post, but I wanted to thank you for kicking off what I hope will be a career as a writer. My first published story appears in the Neptune volume of the Planetary Anthologies, and I've been working on several others that I hope will find a home somewhere. So thanks again, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

And people should be made to cooperate with this control because they are part of society and society is dependent on everyone being in compliance. This is simply the Truth. It's how the world works and how the world is supposed to work. The Socialist Nationalism,

What You Know That Isn't So

The saying goes like this, It's not what you *don't* know that is going to trip you up, it's what you know that isn't so. I believe that the first lady might possibly have been feigning helplessness, just a little bit. She already had concept art and visuals, so I think she'll be okay. But someone might truly be so new that they know nothing about science fiction as a genre or how it works in the world. That person, the truly "new" person, might not realize that the second lady, no matter how assured she seems to be that she's passing on vital Wisdom, is wrong. So lets unwrap her backpack a little (to steal a metaphor). Stories about space pirates are Space Opera, generally. "Soft" science in science fiction usually refers to sociology or psychology, social "science". A story about space pirates might be "soft". But that's picking nits. The first big boo-boo is this: "not as popular *because* it is women
