DAMS?

Intelligence flows like water

around unnecessary difficulty.

Poor design imposes arbitrary blocks

in the freedom of this flow.

TO DAM, or NOT TO DAM

We shape the world and the world shapes us.

Observed from the clear high country air, well outside
the current ongoing and seemingly endless fiscal crises,
what is abundantly obvious is that, where we should
dam, block, and aggressively limit the free flow of systems,
we do not. Witness our reluctance to intelligently limit
investment banking, speculative markets, or runaway
military spending. But where we should not do so, where
we should not dam, block, and aggressively limit the
freedom of flow, we do. Witness all the former wild rivers
of the world languishing behind huge concrete dams.
How odd.
