<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><span class="mw-headline">Mensaje de despedida de Doc glasgow</span></h2>
<p>Es tentador ser una reina del drama y poner largas peroratas culpanto el trabajo y sus wales por arruinarme Wikipedia, pero ese sería incorrecto. Además, alguien correctamente me señalaría <a class="extiw" title="GoodBye" href="http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?GoodBye">esto</a>.</p>
<p>La verdad es que wikipedia es una droga que quita el tiempo. Y eso está bien, si te divierte y/o puedes engañarte a ti mismo con el Jimbocuento de hacer el mundo un lugar mejor. Pero dejó de ser divertido para mi hace rato, y mi único consuelo es que quizás realmente estaba haciendo el mundo un logar mejor ayudando a arreglar, o al menos reducir el inaceptable daño colateral de Wikipedia. Pero ya no puedo engañarme a mi mismo. Así que ¿me devuelven mi vida, por favor?</p>
<p>Y no estoy siendo cínico sobre Wikipedia. Es una idea brillante u quien quiera que la haya tenido, merece todo el crédito. Alberga excelentes artículos de referencia sobre todo desde historia y medicina hasta (sí) Pokemon. Claro, nunca será 100% confiable, pero ¿y qué?</p>
<p>Respeto al fundador. Y Respeto a los primeros pioneros que meditaron sobre los detalles y desarrollaron este excelente sistema - <strong>pensamiento creativo flexible</strong>. Sin embargo fallaron en proveer a Wikipedia con un sistema de toma de decisiones que permita el "cambio constitucional" cuando surgieran nuevos problemas. Así que el pensamiento creativo flexible ya no está presente. Y dejaron un veto con cualquier minoría vocal que quiera oponerse a todo.</p>
<p>Creo firmemente que la mayoría de la gente que ha estudiado el tema seriamente, reconoce al menos aspectos del "problema de las BPV" (n.t. Biografías de Personas Vivas). Pero <strong>Wikipedia no está regido por los pensantes e informados</strong>, está regido por quien quiera que se aparezca. Hay un grupo pequeño de personas que les gusta jugar a la wiki como un juego de rol y simplemente niegan las consecuencias en la realidad que puedan limitar su libertad de acción. Hay un grupo mayor que es demasiado inmaduro o flojo para pensar correctamente. Y luego está el de aquellos que reconocen que "algo debe hacerse", pero se oponen perpetuamente a lo que se proponga en favor de "una idea mejor". El mecanismo es como usar un videófono para manejar las complejidades de un presupuesto federal, no funciona para temas que requieren tiempo, meditación, responsabilidad y atención. Dudo que este problema pueda ser corregido - dado que necesita un cambio estructural en la toma de decisiones, lo cual es imposible por las mismas razones.</p>
<p>Por supuesto, el sistema de toma de decisiones inicial tiene un <em>DiosRey</em> como válvula de seguridad. Sin embargo <strong>el Olimpo está ahora distante </strong><strong>y probablemente ya sea impotente.</strong></p>
<p>Estoy tentado a predecir la caída apocalíptica de Wikipedia - eso sería un gran mensaje de despedida. Pero creo que eso es improbable, avanzará tediosamente. La buena gente (como Brad, así que déjenlo), eventualmente encontrará formas de hacer cambios al sistema para hacerlo un poco mejor. Pero cambios radicales ocurrirán bajo presión externa extrema (demandas, medios o alguna tragedia) y no puedo realmente predecir cuando será, puede tomar años.</p>
<p>De todas formas, ya tuve suficiente. Me alejo para leer algunos libros (de esos que tienen páginas de verdad y no dicen "jaja, apestas"<sup><span style="white-space:nowrap;" title="This claim needs references to reliable sources">[<em><a title="Citation needed" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verificabilidad" target="_blank">cita requerida</a></em>]</span></sup> en lugares inesperados). Sin duda rondaré por un tiempo todavía, no tiene caso pretender l contrario.</p>
<p>Probablemente debí poner esto en mi página de usuario, pero tenía prisa para dejar y cerrar mi cuenta. Quizás alguien (que no esté bloqueado) puede copiarlo ahí.</p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Doc_glasgow" target="_blank">Doc glasgow</a></p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Doc_glasgow" target="_blank">Doc glasgow</a> es un gran biblio de la wiki inglesa que acaba de partir. Personalmente le aprecio mucho, y deseo que hubiera más gente en esa wiki <strong>escribiendo o manteniendo la enciclopedia</strong>, en vez de perder el tiempo con <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BANNER" target="_blank">tonterías</a>.</p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;">Apenas ayer me di cuenta de los niveles de estupidez que ha alcanzado esa wiki cuando Humberto me pasó este <strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Changing_username/Usurpations&#38;diff=prev&#38;oldid=202683580" target="_blank"><em>link</em></a></strong>, supongo que ha de ser una GRAN idea (como todas las ideas que provienen de ahí, según algunos) que para cada línea que se escribe, haya que poner una plantilla o un icono (supongo que ayuda para no tener que leer el mensaje en sí).</p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;">Y más cuando Humberto no pudo recuperar su nombre de usuario, porque alguien hizo una edición en el 2004, totalizando 4 ediciones en 4 años, dado que <em>las reglas no dicen que es posible. </em><strong>¿qué pasó con el sentido común y el pensamiento crítico?</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;">Me pone triste la partida de Doc, pero me preocupa que estemos tomando ese rumbo en la Wikipedia en Español.</p>

<p>So the first quarter of their <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">tyranny</span> governance is complete and it's time for a progress report!</p>
<p>Achievements to date include and are limited to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bad mouthing the ousted Barbados Labour Party (counter productive)</li>
<li>Maintained the said BLP initiatives (hypocritical)</li>
<li>Gave a less than underprivileged celebrity land, an SUV,  and a title (overzealous)</li>
<li>Picked Snails (...enough said)</li>
<li>Increased the cost of living by removing subsidies on fuel including that used for electricity then coming on television declaring Barbadians should live more 'conservatively.'</li>
</ul>
<p>HA! I hope we're proud of ourselves. Change, from bad to worse. Congratulations Barbados!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em><strong>Vacancy<br />
</strong></em>Wanted immediately to serve as shop keeper in kerosene oil lamp and candle store. Must have proven track record of sales, excellent written and verbal communication skills, a dislike for the usage of electronic devices and above average arithmetic capabilities.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Hours of work depend on available lighting.<br />
Natural air/conditioned environment (Open windows and doors.)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">A competitive remuneration package awaits the successful applicant, unless the wage increase as proposed by the Barbados Workers' Union is approved.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Late in coming, as all my posts have been of recent but I had to do this after the heads stopped spinning and the first set of dust has settled.</p>
<p>So the DLP won the elections 20-10 (maybe 19-11 if Rommel Marshall wins his court case... which we doubt he will so let's stick with 20-10) and the BLP Head is now Mia "Nibbles" Mottley after Owen "See-more women" Arthur former Prime Minister handed the reins over to her contrary to public expectation that Clyde "Whoops!" Mascoll was named as Co-Leader. David "Giddy as a School-Girl" Thompson and his CAREFULLY selected group now have control of the government, all excluding the Wrong Dishonorable Dennis "Narcissus" Kellman was snubbed, to no one's surprise. What a way to begin a political year. Ah... I hope to God, Allah, Jehova, what have you, I get my company off the ground before the BDS dollar gets devalued to something slightly above a buck fifty Guyanese.</p>
<p>Oh and to answer everyone out there asking, "Whose side is he on?" I say to you this "The same side you should be on, my own."</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What are the definitions of 'Money Laundering',  and 'Tax Haven' because they seem to come to mind given section b) and c) of the Account Liberalization initiative the ruling Democratic Labour Party has in its manifesto.</p>
<p>b) Residents and Non-Residents will be able to hold bank accounts in US Dollars, Euros, Canadian dollars and Sterling in unrestricted amounts provided these are not funded from Barbados dollar sources. The holding of different currencies will eventually help to diversity the financial services industry.</p>
<p>c) A 5% rate of income tax will be applied to interest earned on these balance in order to encourage their repatriation from foreign banks where they remain undeclared. These deposits will be subject to existing foreign currency reserve requirements.</p>
<p>We have in place a declaration policy governing local transactions which state all deposits of and exceeding $10,000 BARBADOS dollars the source of which must be declared. However this is saying undeclared money in non Barbados dollars will be subjected to a 5% income tax <b>on the INTEREST</b> not the money.</p>
<p>So if i were a drug lord and wanted to hide 30million Sterling for example i could send it down here and only be taxed on the interest the money earns. Don't forget the term in b) "in unrestricted amounts".</p>
<p>At any rate, I MAY be wrong but we'll see when the World Bank and the IMF get wind of this.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ah, the breeze of change is still a-blowing it seems. Word crossing my desk is that over FIFTY persons from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital have resigned today January 16th, a day after election results showed the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) made a crushing and slightly embarrassing defeat over the Barbados Labour Party (BLP- who had 3 consecutive wins over the DLP).</p>
<p>Also of note is apparently, the Barbados Investment Development Corporation (BIDC) has been vacant since last week. Though I am still researching these two matters I think it's pretty safe to say it's true.</p>
<p>Given the fact that the QEH as well as the BIDC are both corporations, at the changing of Government, members of these bodies have to resign. Which is unfortunate for the QEH people in particular given the fact that it has been roughly a year since it was transfered to corporation style governance. That would of course only affect Administrative not Medical Staff. Not that these people shall walk away with their long arms swinging, no no no! Rest assured they have some change to tide them over for a while.</p>
<p>Ah well... when wind blows dust is stirred,  all that's important will come when the dust eventually settles.</p>
<p>Updating résumé.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This morning as I lay half asleep I heard a loud thud on my living room floor. When i eventually woke up, i saw a stack of envelopes on the ground. I figured that they must have come from the postal workers seeing as they're working weekends now to hand out <strike>propaganda</strike> information from both the DLP and the BLP. I have never felt so... harassed in my life! Everyday I receive mail as though from a suitor none of which contain money or jewelry, hell even FLOWERS! I can't wait for elections to be over so I can finally stop receiving all of this SPAM!</p>
<p>2 more days.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ah, so I can finally present to you the Manifesto of the BLP and to make sure we're on the same page (no pun intended) I haven't read it yet either. Still trying to wade through the DLP one.</p>
<p><a href="http://superlative1.wordpress.com/files/2008/01/blp_manifesto08.pdf" title="blp_manifesto08.pdf">blp_manifesto08.pdf</a></p>
<p>My zeal for reading either of these manifestos should tell you something.</p>
