Communication Breakthrough!

It seems that this political blog has created a communication breakthrough for the Neal Southwick siblings. As shown in this startling graph, communication over the years for the Southwick children has been spotty at best. However, since Christopher Southwick introduced the blog, "Southwick Politics", actual contact between the siblings has increased exponentially.



The previous decade shows the Southwick siblings communicating at an increased rate every two years. This falls in line with the family tradition of gathering for "reunions". However, communication quickly falls back into previous lows after the gatherings end. The year 2008 has seen unprecedented communication patterns from the Southwick siblings. This graph would suggest that when sensitive subject material is up for debate, the hallmark Southwick characteristic for defensive tenacity kicks in and siblings are naturally compelled to communicate with each other.

Will this new trend last in the long-term? Will other non-active siblings also be drawn into the fray? If all the siblings come to a consensus, will communication cease again?

Only time will tell.

Ha ha ha! I love it! Very true. This graph therefore shows that it's a positive thing that we can never come to an unanimous consensus concerning anything. If we did, there would be no reason to talk with each other.

Happy discussions!
