Well, good--I was hoping to spark off a discussion of just this kind. Helen--thanks for the insight/info. I have often given thought to how miserable it must have been, in city offices pre-A/C.
Shanks--I'll take your word for it, love; want to give us a few details?
Zed--ohmigawd, you made me about fall off my chair laughing, with
both your posts!
oxymoronocracies---(political wisdom?) HA!
As to finding a kakistocracy...I won't say it, I won't say it, I won't...
I was very surprised when I came upon this list, not just at some of the words, but at a few of the concepts. I mean, how many examples could there have been of some of them??
