Well, doh, Mick...sure. But they won't listen. They haven't for a really really long time. 'Decent' folks seldom have the money to force anyone to listen.

As per the other thread, in US politics, it's money and connections. Most 'decent' people don't have either. YOU may be able to just ring up a president, or ex president but I damn sure can't. Hell, I can't even ring up my own Senators or Representative. I get the voice mail or the flunky.
