No. Far from it. I probably have more interest in, and have done more reading and research on the American election that about 95% of Australians and Irish. I can also say with a fair degree of certainty, for example, that I know more about European and Australian politics and history than you do.
I just have no desire to investigate the specifics on how one goes about revising a military record, US military procedures and polices, possible indescrepancies on Kerry's (or indeed Bush's) military records and how either party is using these as political amunition.
I wouldn't try to argue with you about US legal precendent, as a further example.
Does that bother you? Don't tell me you're one of those people who don't believe anything unless you've seen it or proved it yourself? After all, your whole job is based upon interpreting cases as laid down by others and citing decisions and findings come about by others than yourself.
