Your Idaho experience is a case in point. In the final analysis, pointing at others and despising them is soooo c20. That we see it in developing nations is awful, although it gives our own dinosaurs somewhere to foam at the mouth about.

Interesting that I can think of three people on these threads who have offered support for UKIP but only the ones who are quick to disassociate think I meant them. One of whom thinks everything I say is aimed at him, such is his sense of self importance.

Still, he may well be voting today and that is a sobering thought. Me? I sent my postal vote in last week. As a vote for LibDem is a spoiled paper, the dismal choices of UKIP, Conservative, BNP and myriad little England causes meant Labour were the only choice. Snag is , I'm not sure they are ready to be encouraged just yet.

Notice how I say that Scotland risks shallow fools putting the idea of giving the present UK government a bloody nose above what's best for the country? Nice to see my point being made. Still , Alex Salmond has done more than any predecessor for respecting equality of others , introduced gay marriage etc etc, so nice to see who will vote for this liberal socialist.
