With election day coming in a couple of days. I am inspired to write again. I have additional ideas. These are not new ideas or concepts. None of my suggestions have been. If there is a method or style I am simply looking at existing ideas with the intent to see it in a different perspective..

I have always like the use of the phrase "logic and reason". It was a way to understand a sequence in life or society. Even today's political process has a logic and reason to it's processes. Recently I have been listening to an audio version of Walter Isaacson's book "Innovators" during my 4:30 am 6 mile walks. I'm loving it. Mr Isaacson has eloquently captured how innovation works and is never actually one man. The innovations that he tracks,  follows the growth of computers, internet and smartphones.

Success of a given innovation is marked by waves of agreements by populations. Almost word of mouth.
Perhaps with time, I will find more eloquent rhetoric to set the stage for the following suggestion.

For now I feel time is running short. Or perhaps it is a sensation time is being wasted and it can be seen in the political polls. There is going to be gridlock for the foreseeable future.

The Tea Party is fond of thinking "what would the founding fathers do?" How would they be handling today's environment. They are put on pedestals as if ordinary folks should not dare think like they did.

I focus on Ben Franklin. I try to think what would he have suggested had he read Walter Isaacson's "Innovators" And recently, one idea has presented it self. Data Exchanges are not new ideas to the information technology. However, I have been introduced to a particular form of data exchange that when I think of the nature of the sociology of the involved I find parallels in political terms. I try to "free associate" or improvise on the relationships between a Doctor, patient and others into political terms of power, control.

Is not the relationship between Dr/Patient have parallels to a Congressperson/Voter? In the end the Voter and the Patient have the power? Do not labs/hospitals have a parallel function as lobbyist/special interest groups?

Walter Isaacson pointed out that in the section about the internet and packet switching innovations was that it was a design that inherently resolves problems with data transmitting by make far more choices and decisions.

Let me repeat, and rephrase. No webpage hits 2 computers in the same path through the internet. It breaks it up and in the end resolves disputes to deliver the same messages to 2 computers.

For our political system do we all not want a process\system that does just that? Congress has bills that it votes on and the ordinary voter can't touch the process or easily influence it. A legislative bill is very similar to the same process of a webpage being broken into packets and being assembled into the final product.

What if the ordinary voter had access to a "something" that could be broken down into packets until such time as the proper numbers of voters assemble it. Imagine such a file layout protocol that has different sections. As the HL7 has a section for Patient information and then other sections for "Observations" or lab tests and results.

In a political edition, imagine a section that would start with FIS for fiscal impact.Within the one line,separate locations within for the different republican and democratic estimations and reasoning. Imagine every bill structured in the same way. Imagine a section for JUS or social justice?

Dr Ben Franklin (albeit an honorary title)  might have seen the value to such a file had he known of the power internet to resolve issues during communication.

Now this is just the file layout. Go another step of imagination. Accept for a moment, as one suspends disbelief while watching science fiction character "Teleport" somewhere, that the layout is universal and common knowledge. In order for the process to work as the internet, that file will require small communities make adjustments to the file and the different sections. This a market and jobs are created to enable that manipulation and final assembly into a product to be accepted by traditional Congress or other legislative body

That's enough for now...As this is a blog I will follow on as life permits
