Nothing will change if the region doesn't change. Radical is what we need, because nothing we've done so far has really worked.

The last time we had a significant increase in activity came from radical political change-- a new group of players coming to power and the old group fading away. That's not really a repeatable phenomenon. So I think we should be allowing a lot more things to change in our laws and setup, and see where the chips fall.


The best thing that could happen to TSP is to get rid of our laws and start anew. Drop the tradition of requiring broad-based support for everything. Decrease term lengths and possibly add term limits to less important positions.

Basically, I think we're trapped by our own fealty to tradition.
