In political terms you are not supposed to ask a question unless you know the answer. From my own viewpoint I see all politics as a State of War between the parties. Often the truth is in there but you have to search and perhaps remain aware of why people take up a certain political viewpoint. At times of conflict all to often people do NOT listen to the other persons viewpoint. Left or Right of politics should allow for the individual viewpoint but sadly it does not . I could perhaps sum up certain arguments as 'What part of I'm right and your wrong do you not understand'. Anyway back to the Green button, I now think I am able to decide when and if I decide to use the function. The point from the start was to make people aware that the system exists. Heaven forbid that anyone goes for vote rigging. That would mean analysing the figures and we all know where that would lead. We would be forced to decide who was left and who was right. Perhaps leading us all to independent views .

the string of this thread (that looks very odd when typed and may be an oxymoron or indeed sum up the paradox of the whole Santa question) has nicely, as usual, spread along many and different pathways, however, I believe that Pratchett could have solved the matter, but as he is no longer available in this multiverse, I had to consider other means. Two of my old school friends now hold chairs in very prestigious universities, so I thought I would ask them. One was recently appointed a fellow of the royal society, so I thought that would be a good place to start. When I posed the difficulties in trying to plumb the depths of the belly button/toe fluff problem and explaining the theories put forward on this very site he looked somewhat blank, (or maybe he just blankly at me) but then again his field is bio chemistry and obviously the multiverse concept was beyond him, so I will forgive his ignorance. The Santa thing did trigger some recognition, so his cognitive powers have not yet descended into a sea of port at high table, and he may have the answer to part of it regarding the consumption of offerings laid out for Santa. Apparently this matter was resolved by Pythagoras and we have overlooked the answer beneath our noses!! he explained it is quite simple -- Pi=pastry over meat (savoury or otherwise) and all pies follow this rule so we do not need a definition for the 'mince pie' as it has been there all along, otherwise it would be a quiche!! On the NCC meeting question -- he suspects there is no answer within this universe to council meetings, as they seem to be 'otherworldy' and suspects the answer is to ship them all off to another universe where apparently they live already (I think this was originally postulated in the Hitchhikers Guide and applied to telephone hygienists and certain others. he will raise the subject within the Royal Society, but suspects that the greatest minds in the universe will never be able to fathom council meetings - and suspects an alien conspiracy as College meetings and others seem to go the same way.
