DoubleQuotes consist of two quotes (or images), juxtaposed. They are intended to work in a way that I learned from haiku: as thoughts dropped into the mind-pond, not so much for their own sakes as for their concentric ripples and the interference patterns between them.
DoubleQuotes are a subset of my analytic work using concepts drawn from Herman Hesse's Glass Bead Game and my playable variants, the HipBone Games.
The UK's Foreign Secretary Jack Straw can (and does) tell us his choice for PM of the Lebanon. Under the principle that turnabout is fair play, Lebanese Speaker Berri surely has an equal right to tell the UK his choice for PM in the upcoming British elections -- or doesn't he?
And the US? Why not, as de Jager almost suggests, allow the world to vote in US elections...

I'm the designer of the HipBone Games, playable variants on Hermann Hesse's Glass Bead Game. I'm associated with the Center for Millennial Studies at Boston University, and worked as Senior Analyst at The Arlington Institute, a beltway think tank in Virginia, on the social impact of large and surprising changes. Presently I'm focusing on the Middle East and developing a tool for conflict analysis -- and hopefully, eventually, conflict resolution!
