This caught my eye while reading Google news. Remote controlled cockroaches

http://www.redorbit.com/news/science/1112691117/cockroaches-remote-control-091012/

An interesting Tech jump,but also a bit weird and strange.

What's new, we have had remote control cockroaches for years, they are just known by another name, politicians.

Now Hutch if you ever made a true statement this is it.
Also know as Democrats and Republicans in the USA. :(

But cool politicians is a contradiction in terms, isn't it?

it's a definition issue
like - all circles are elipses, but not all elipses are circles

some cockroaches may be cool
and all politicians are cockroaches
doesn't mean that politicians are cool - lol

We human are just electronical device that always active over time, there are active stance and rest stance on our electrical circuit. The problem is, the electrical signal is sometime generated between interaction of 2 chemical substance, that makes the altering of our electrical signal on our nerve difficult. Our body is somewhat sophisticated.

A cool politician is Not a contradicction in terms, A GOOD POLITICIAN is!!!!!!!

Maybe in USA, EU and OS, had a control over cockroaches, but here in México they roam freely. (and god forbids it, they are inmune to radiation)

Hi carlos,

A cool politician is Not a contradicction in terms, A GOOD POLITICIAN is!!!!!!!

that's a bit hairsplitting. Do you really know a good politician everywhere in the world?

Steve,

Gunther,

YES, one that has passed away.

The sad thing is that there are good politicians here in the U.S.,but a lot of the good ones are leaving politics because of the state of Government here.

"Politics is a sad duty. The best politicians are those who enter the profession reluctantly and leave it enthusiastically. Those men don’t have to deliver good speeches. They just have to do good … and then they go home. They don’t get big bounces in the polls or flattering reviews on television, and Chris Matthews will never say he loves them. But, thanks to the common sense of millions of voters who don’t like politics, they do occasionally win."

A good politician is by definition something that don't exist as it all depends on the different political views that judge him. A good guy however do exist but shouldn't be confused for a good politician. I have seen many humble politicians, but being humble doesn't produce good politics because politics touch every field, also the unpopular fields.
