Meph, I am not criticising you because you care. I just don't think that you grasp the full gravity of Bush's second term. At least not from my perspective and the perspective of those who will take part in this back-turning protest. I am in no way saying that your opinion is worth less than mine or that you shouldn't be a part of the conversation. Just that my experiences and proximity, I believe, changes our perception.
Thanks for clarifying about Australia, but I really did mean more the open form of government that England has. I really wish we had the accountability that Blair is forced to uphold.
Btw, the power that the British Crown still has over Australia, Canada and the ceremonial power in Britain is appalling. It sucks that someone gets to continue to make major decisions like that that affect an entire country just on account of birth. Why do the people of Australia put up with it or even see it as a positive thing?
