Ever discussed an idea with someone who took it down way faster then you came up with it? Sometimes frustrated because people around you seems to work against you instead of thinking along.
Stop.
Let the idea rest and focus on the process you're in with the people you're talking to. Ask them to think along, brainstorm with you, try to improve your idea with adjustments. After you convinced your public to brainstorm with you, then get back on the subject.
Have fun.

Australian breaking news
What's happening in Australia today?
A FIRE causing $3.5 million in damages has destroyed a heritage-listed building in Tasmania's north.
AN unusually symmetrical, bright red new star has been discovered by an Australian astronomer and his research team.
A QUEENSLAND man who as a teenager sexually abused the young daughter of his boss's partner while baby-sitting the girl has avoided jail.
Production and maintenance workers at a Moura coal mine have downed tools to protest against employer Anglo Coal's refusal to protect current entitlements.
A WOMAN who bit two men as they sexually assaulted her was stripped naked and her clothes dumped in a Gippsland creek before the attackers fled.
Could have been America or Africa too, everywhere the same things are called news. What's new about it?

Iraq
When you were able to rewrite history and got some options for Iraq... what would you do?
To bring into memory, look here for some historic overview. Some headlines:
1988 Iraq retaliates against the Kurds for supporting Iran during the Iran-Iraq war, and through "Operation Anfal" slaughters civilians or forces them to relocate.
1990 Iraqi troops invade Kuwait.
1991 The Persian Gulf War begins when Operation Desert Storm launched by a U.S.-led coalition of 32 countries.
So let's assume it's January 1st, 1991.
1. Leave Iraq alone. Saddam Hussein may go on with whatever he's doing.
2. Increase diplomatic negotiations. Try more to persuade Iraq to comply with United Nations Security Council Resolutions.
3. Try to convince the Arab League to help or better take over responsibility in persuading Iraq to comply with UN Security Council Resolutions.
Would your rewriting improve the situation, less dead people and decrease of war threat?

One to Any
My first blog, titled 'One to Any', as it is my intention to broadcast my thoughts into the world. Anyone waiting for that? Probably not, who cares. But I would like to share, even if it is with myself in 10 years when I read this again on a rainy day. And who knows, maybe I can contribute a little bit to one other human being. It will make my day.
