After the legislature gives the Emperor unlimited power in the Third Star Wars and the whole assembly breaks out in applause, Padme commented, “That is how democracy dies, with applause.” In a recent Scientific American, the following words were uttered, “Human societies must now change course and steer away from critical tipping points in the Earth system that might lead to rapid and irreversible change.

To be effective, a new set of institutions would have to be imbued with heavy-handed, transnational enforcement powers.”

“We have come a long way trying to KILL THE BILL since August of 2009, to no avail. It has continued to resurrect.
