Politics analogy breaks apart here on one point. In politics, you |
| 20 |
don't have several thousand proposals a day. If Politics did have that |
| 21 |
many proposals, and just any man & his dog could make a proposal, all |
| 22 |
the ones with NEEDINFO would grow faster than the heap of dung @ a |
| 23 |
sewage treatment station, and the percentage processed would get |
| 24 |
progressively a smaller percentile, and governments with all their |
| 25 |
bureaucratic red tape would get less done than they already do. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Im guessing if they had as many proposal as BGO does, they would , |
| 28 |
like BGO, employ staff to filter the rubbish out. ( Cos you see, |
| 29 |
BugWranglers are not your head heirachy, they're just the entry level |
| 30 |
cleaner/rep who relays the information ), and that way, 10 year olds |
| 31 |
who want something for Christmas won't put his request onto the daily |
| 32 |
agenda and waste time. That way duplicate propositions are found and |
| 33 |
associated as such. That way proposals which dont even have enough |
| 34 |
info to get to council cos they cant hold their own water, or are |
| 35 |
obviously bogus ( ie: i propose we nuke ourselves ) or proposals which |
| 36 |
obviously don't affect a large enough part of the population , don't |
| 37 |
inundate the council and waste their time with unimportant issues, |
| 38 |
due to them not having a lot of free time. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
All you can do is be insistent and give more info, and keep |
| 41 |
un-invalidating them, and they'll eventually listen, or find another |
| 42 |
dev ( politician/rep/senator ) who will add weight to your claim and |
| 43 |
delegate it to the right place. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Outside that, you can be a vigilante, and take the law into your own hands. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Thats all there is to it :) |
