Globally Rational

This carnival has been canceled.  I was hoping to get people to point out lots of quality trends, but instead, I received predictions such as “Barrack Obama will be the Democratic Presidential nominee” (that’s right, he even spelled “Barack” wrong).  Although there were a couple of quality submissions, the vast majority were either stating the obvious (i.e. “Pursuing renewable energy will create jobs and get us off oil”) or completely irrelevant (i.e. “Arguments for and against carrying multiple reward credit cards”).  I’ll plan to resurrect this carnival in the future, but I might have to change the name to “world trends” or something along those lines.

I’d like to announce the first edition of “Predictions,” scheduled for June 10, 2008. This will be a “blog carnival” whose purpose is to bring together blog posts using rational thought processes to point out interesting trends that our society seems to be following. Here is some useful info:

• Submissions will be made through blogcarnival.com; click here to submit your articles.
• Submissions should be received by 11:59 PM CST the night before the carnival.
• The carnival will be postponed by a few days if we don’t receive at least 5 quality entries (although this is unlikely).
• Carnivals will be posted on the second Tuesday of every month.

Note: In hopes of more quality submissions, the first edition of the Predictions Carnival has been postponed to June 10, 2008.
