title, Duopoly vs. Knot
I did a Google search on "Beyond the Duopoly" and got a bunch of listings discussing utilities in Australia. I wasn't enamored with the name before and this reduced my enthusiasm more.
A name came to me last night while watching Paycheck. It's a John Woo Sci-Fi movie with Ben Affleck with a plot that combines the memory issues of Total Recall with the seeing the future aspects of Minority Report. Carl rating: a solid three stars. After providing the IMDB links I feel inadequate for not previously connecting that all three movies were based on short stories by Philip K. Dick, a prolific Chicago author.
The names:
"Cleaving the Gordian Knot"
"Cleaving the Knot"
While a bit cryptic by themselves I envisioned a cover with a ballot with the choices "Democrat" and "Republican" and the voter scrawls "I want another choice!" or "I want another fucking choice!"
Do you have any suggestions or feedback?

"Cleaving" and "Knot" are pretty expressive words. "Duopoly" is too cryptic.
I don't think one has to know about Alexander and the Gordian Knot to get the spirit of "Cleaving the Knot". This is why I prefer it to "Cleaving the Gordian Knot".
I think the cover should be a mobius strip with democrats and republicans one the other "side"
I really like the Mobius strip idea!
If you're gonna post as anonymous, could you include a name, even if a knickname, in your post?
Hey, that post came from Roy N.
