GOVERNMENT BY TWEET 

1/7/2017

Why did Athenian democracy fail so totally and miserably?  We are at last able to answer that question: It was their inability of its  leaders to speak in 140 character units. Behind that was the disastrous failure of an education system based on the performance and interpretation of irrelevant texts.  
Between now and Inauguration Day http://www.wrobertconnor.com/blog will showing what Athens  could have been like it had had a government  by tweet, instead of arguing and writing in long winded, complicated ways.  

Pericles Tweet I:
Great choice for Funeral Oration speaker.  My ratings will beat all the competition, big time.
       Tomorrow: Pericles tweet his Funeral Oration! .

Bop*, At the SCS AIA in Toronto you could hear knives being honed on whetstones at many sessions, with an occasional Alfred E. Newmanism (What Me Worry?) from the more masculinist enclaves in the world's second oldest profession.
