eyeball Posted April 24, 2017 Report Posted April 24, 2017 It'll probably work until the Party of Growth become the authorities at which point we're back to the problem of the government vs the governed. I'd be more impressed with a Party of Utter Transparency in which the candidates wire themselves to the Internet and stay that way until they're defeated or retire from office. Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

Hudson Jones Posted April 24, 2017 Report Posted April 24, 2017 This is a step towards the right direction. Can't say blockchain technology is full proof, but the language and coding is. Here is a very important talk about the advantages of blockchain technology and how it can help the world. It's well beyond currency. Quote When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always. Gandhi
