No Akenaton, I may or may not be arrogant, but you haven't put that to the test.

You see, your homophobic rants on these threads demonstrate that you want to change people who you don't agree with. I reckon that is a far better description of arrogance, don't you?

I don't want to change the world, (except in asking that people see other people as equals, and not judge them through bigoted preconceptions,) I just point out that democracy is possibly a crap system, but it is also the best hope we have.

Hence being bemused by Bridge's attempts to get people to hate others based on agreeing with their take on life. I didn't even hate Th*tcher, just hated what her policies did and how misguided they were. I have similar views on Osborn's priorities. I think Cameron is too hands off, hence cabinet running riot. Mind you, if he was more hands on, that could be a disaster too as he is not a good Prime Minister.

But I fully accept that they are there till an election says otherwise, and I shall cast my vote accordingly. In the meantime, I remain bemused by supposedly educated people spouting the idea that things should change by other than fair means, and by fair, I mean democracy. it's a little faded, a little ragged around the edges, but it still fits and still keeps us warm.

Oh, and sorry for answering your posts. I recall I once said I couldn't see any reason to ever try to engage you in debate, but that's the thing when you are not arrogant, you can change your mind.

Going to get a bath now. Pip Pip
