erm...my immediate reaction is " so what?". I thought this was all about democracy and the freedom of choice...Ake you´re being a bit reactionary aren´t you? I´ve always been a humanist ( for a few years I foolishly said I was socialist but then discovered it was another label for those that like to dress up half-baked dogma as a political agenda...a bit like the other socialism really..you know the National one) anyway, I thought that socialists were fighting for the right to choose. then I discovered that they were fighting for the right for you to choose what they wanted to offer you. Not for me really. i want good health/education/housing. cheap water and electricity for everyone. i also want tot live in a society that doesn´t villify you for your choices of where you want to send your children or have your gallstones removed. no I´m not left-wing. i can proudly say that I am Alistair-wing.
