http://www.ted.com In this deceptively casual talk, Charles Leadbeater weaves a tight argument that innovation isn't just for professionals anymore. Passionate amateurs, using new tools, are creating products and paradigms that companies can't. He describes the rising role of serious amateurs ("Pro-Ams," as he calls them) through the story of the mountain bike.

Continued from last comment... or on a bus, couldn't we all help add information about our local environment by texting a number as we go in on the bus, we could inform people of traffic, if the bus was full, the weather, what we saw as we passed things, recommend different routes, text in where we started and ended our journey, then maybe, they could re-rouet the bus to make it more efficient to where we are going, you could get rid of in-accurate annual market survey people in this way.

well since he wants us to collaborate our ideas, i'd better start now, and i'm being serious, why don't we get a discount on our food when we put something back in the right place on the shelf in the supermarket, you wouldn't need so many staff then, or why don't we get some sor of discount by doing some sort of something, data entry or something, whilst we wait at the doctors surgery, or the dentist, will continue on next Comment.....

The judiciary enforce laws made by the strongest/most popular/majority. The Judiciary are also appointed by the strongest/most popular/majority. I don't disagree that the separation of powers is a good idea but it hardly solves the problem of rulers ruling over the unfortunate ruled and the enactment and enforcement of immoral laws.
