Here it is then... These are the various websites and blogs that have help point, enlighten, confuse and guide me through the 2010 General Election hell. I'd encourage you to take the time to read all of them, but of course that may be impossible given the fact that you've left it sooo late to start considering the implications of your portion of a vote. But more importantly than any of that, while it's not my place to tell you what to do, there is one (and only one) exception that proves this rule.

While waiting and assisting in daughters recovery (which is going well but slowly you'll be pleased to hear), I've been pondering big questions as is my occasional want. Afterall, wasn't it Eleanor Roosevelt who said: Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. In my mind's eye she may have been a batty old biddy in a similar vein to @CatBinLady although in reality, history records her as a powerhouse of a woman and far more than just the first Lady of the USA (while her husband was President) I suspect she was actually something akin to the tough 80's Margaret Thatcher. Now, to my big-ish question. Well, it's a big sort of question in my world because I think it will have an impact on a large portion of the planets population eventually. Geo-located Social Media stuff again.... I seem to be harping on about this a bit, but to be fair, it's moving along rapidly. TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) usually have ...
