Soter says:
Two positives could lead to a fatal short circuit. Electrical current needs
a positive and negative to flow smoothly.
Carmita says:
Sorter, a fatal short circuit is exactly what some people in Goa need! And
plenty of shocks by lightening followed by thunder storms will probably
speed up the process of cleaning up Goa.
Carmita says:
The entire system of Goa and all politicians from all parties, all governments
officers, police, big business, every one needs to be shaken to the core.
Declare WAR to corruption. There is a solution! It is not an easy solution.
Catch them red handed and NAME and SHAME and protests to start with. Above all
Sorter, what is needed is the will of the people and if all join forces we can
do it. But we need to cooperate and be positive! Our individual past
experiences, sucesses and failures and disappointments etc should be used as
lessons to build up the FORCE AGAINST CORRUPTION, and not undermine efforts,
however small, against this evil, which is killing Goa.
With reference to all above Rajendra says:
To start, nothing about corruption but pure physics: In the context of normal
electricity connections with positives and negatives of standard potential
values, two positives do not lead to short circuit; the voltage merely doubles.
A positive and a negative (or earth) that can result in short circuit as well
as smooth flow of current. The former occurs when there is no resistence (a
bulb, heater, fan or other appliance) between the two terminals and latter when
there is adequate resistence.
If two positive terminals (with unequal potential values) are created in a
laboratory, current would flow smoothly from positive (with higher potential)
to positive (with lower potential) if there is adequate resistence in between.
Ditto with two negative terminals. Scientifically, there is no such thing as
positive and negative. These are relative referances. Higher potential value
terminal is referred to as positive and the lower one as negative. If you use
transformers, positive terminal with reference to one terminal can become
negative with reference to another.
Coming to corruption: Carmita’s prescription is excellent. Let us garner
resources. Four Ms: Men, Machinery, Methods, Materials. Just as electricity
flows smoothly only if there is adequate resistence, the political system can
run smoothly only if there is adequate resistence (what Carmita suggests) by
the people.
