The Guy That Does The Thing - Observations, Deliberations, and Confessions Volume 17

The Fujiwhara Effect 
The Fujiwhara effect, named after Sakuhei Fujiwhara, sometimes referred to as Fujiwara interaction or binary interaction, is when two nearby cyclonic vortices orbit each other and close the distance between the circulations of their corresponding low-pressure areas. 
Breaking down the physics of the meteorological phenomena and viewing it from a more general point of view, [TGTDTT] proposes the Fujiwhara effect is present in other facets of his [REALITY]. [TGTDTT] proposes it is also present in the interrelationships between people, to include politics. 
Consider a citizen with a goal of making sure that [MC] does not waste [USD]. Then consider another citizen who believe that [MC] Building Inspector is being obstinate when it comes to approving plans to renovate her boat dock. Now let both of these citizens run for seats on [CC] where there are two other candidates who are incumbents. 
The first two candidates (A and B) know that for their individual goals to be achieved, they have to upset the status quo. The second two candidates (C and D) are running on a platform centered on the idea that they are doing a good job and things are going well. By the mere nature of things, candidates A and B will likely come together as one force, just as candidates C and D, will come together as one force. Then the election happens. Stuff gets all scrambled up and it starts all over when the next election cycle begins. 
What is true about the meteorological phenomena, and an attempt to extend the idea to local politics, is that even the slightest perturbations in the various forces will prevent a merging that produces a single event that is greater than or equal to the sum of the individual events. In most cases, the unification is less powerful than the sum. 
What also seems to be true of both the weather and politics is that nothing seems to really end. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to say exactly when stuff started, unless we assert that weather started when the earth was created and politics started when Mirror Fogging Carbon Units, [MFCU]s, began to walk upon the earth. However, the forces that created earth existed before the planet became a planet and, if you think Darwin was right, [MFCU]s are derived from something else. 
But [TGTDTT] is here now and trying to make sense of at least one or two things. [TGTDTT] believes the Fujiwhara effect is present at every meeting throughout the country and the end result is just a continuation of confused ripples that think they are the ocean. 
[TGTDTT] also submits that across the world, the Fujiwhara effect is discernible every time two or more people have ideas that cannot be accomplished without some help from some more people. This is true even when a person decides they want to be left alone. The only way that person can be left alone is if people choose to leave the person alone. 
City Council Meetings are the same now as they were in the beginning of this fine nation. It is an opportunity for all citizens to stand up in front of their neighbors and wail - 
[GVBMNT] won't leave citizens alone; 
Neighbors won't leave citizen alone; and 
As an American, a nation founded on the principal of being left alone as a right endowed by God, citizens should be left alone 
OR 
Petition [GVBMNT] to go bother one or more neighbors because neighbors don't behave as they should 
OR 
Petition [GVBMNT] to buy something a person thinks [GVBMNT] should have or 
OR 
Petition [GVBMNT] to stop buying stuff the [GVBMNT] should no longer buy. 
There is that word "should" that pops into every statement made by an unhappy person. On a side note, happy people rarely use the word should and use the word "is" instead. But that subject is for another day. 
Each of the five people sitting at the front of the room on [CC] promised to uphold a solemn oath and serve the public to the best of their abilities within the constraints of [USFG] law, and [GVBMNTFL] law. These people want to make the world a better place for all of us. Yet none of those five people understand how everybody does not believe that [CC] are helping us and those same five people have decided to believe that we should understand that we need them to keep us safe. 
[TGTDTT] imagines taking the minutes of every meeting that has ever taken place in the history of this great nation and processing them in a way toward seeing the commonalities. It is [TGTDTT]'s suspicion that applying a Freudian Dogma Filter would reveal that what is in play during every meeting is a sexual ritual that celebrates and glorifies the life of Oedipus in a very public way. 
It is along that line of thought that a plausible case could be made that attending meetings could feed the same need as attending a live sex show. Being a part of the public action would be the same as acting in a live sex show. Assuming such were the case, the candidates elected to [CC] are the [StarPorn]s. The [CA] and [CM] are [ActorPorn] on long-term studio contracts who fill in when called upon by one of the [StarPorn]s. It must be understood that [CA] and [CM] will only be activated at the command of one or more members of [CC]. The people who speak at meetings are auditioning to be [StarPorn] or bit-players. Last but not least, are the people who make sure they get a really good seat in the audience. Well, you know who you are. 
If you can hardly wait to sit in the very back of the room at the next meeting, you have a serious problem. The people who make a habit of speaking on “Agenda Items” have a problem too, but at least they don't try to hide theirs. 
[TGTDTT] realized that he was not above being a [StarPorn] in YR11 and YR12, but the script had to be really really good for him to audition. When [ELCTN12] changed the line up of regular [StarPorn]s, [TGTDTT] no longer auditioned and stopped going to the theatre at all because he was not going to be the guy who sits in the back of the room. That is what we have [OBandSD] and [FicChaTwentyNine] for.
