Wow FD.
That’s even better than Barry Jones’s spaghetti and meatballs diagram of the Knowledge Nation.
It’s funnier too!!
Well done and you can have a free trip to the dentist as a reward.
Venise: There’s more than one democracy video?
Where are they?
Is this classified information?
I mean I read it and then thought “OMG, have I just accessed a top secret plan from Vault Conroy?
Should I be afraid now?
PS: I am not a Dentist
PPS: Brilliant stuff FD!!

Ev: Hi there. I’m hopeless about computers. Let me see, I was going to the blog section, then saw the word democracy, went to the video and played it, and a small string of horizontal boxes marched across the screen. I was rushed and only saw the latest one, but I believe it’s one of fifteen.
Cheers

brilliant!
This explains the shout out for Flowchart software for the Mac…..
It is terrifying: So close to what will be the truth as to be surreal. Are you sure the bast-rds wont copy you?
I’m enjoying your democracy videos-only just discovered them, today. Who us the hunk with the dark hair who looks like he goes to the gym a lot?
Ev: It is now 1730 and the video has be taken off. Go to Politics opening page: Video of the day. It’s now no more, but you can get access to the others.
This cartoon alone justifies my yearly subscription cost.
Thank you for your continued madness, it makes life very much more pleasant.
Wonderful.
Oh FDOTM! Tis funny coz tis true! But I love going to the dentist!
