Why Kazakhstan shouldn’t develop teh internets
E-government in Britain has apparently hit a new high–you can write e-petitions to the Prime Minister, making requests for all sorts of things, anything you want apparently (without any guarantee that he will answer, of course). Chris Merriman has some of the better ones up here, but the one I thought was of particular note was: Borat is the true leader of Kazakhstan and the Prime Minister needs to recognize this. Kids today, I tell ya!
So you, the future leaders of Kazakhstan reading this blog–do you really want your inbox to be filled up with requests to recognize Benny Hill as the leader of the UK and Mr. Bean as the foreign minister? Or perhaps petitions that food in the stolovayas isn’t as good as it used to be? And so on? I didn’t think so. I’m telling you: you don’t need the internet.
