Let me see ... Do I want Malcolm Turnball running the country (AU) or no-one (UK), or D.Trump (US).
I rest my case.
No God, No fear.

Never understood the rant against 'career politicians'. If need a pipe fixed, I want a career plumber. If I need an operation, I want a career surgeon. And if I want my country to be run effectively, I certainly don't want neophyte pols at the helm who have no idea what they're doing.

I wouldn't suggest that. I'd suggest that Democratic party is to the right of Liberal.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK "That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke |
