Ho-hum. And here was me thinking that this was an interesting thread about some miscarriage of justice I had not heard of. You know, Guildford four, Birmingham six, Bushwhacked ten....

I don't know all the ins and ous of American politics of course but if they are the same as here in the UK I don't know what all the fighting is about. Politicians are all as bad as each other. They want power. They will pander to whoever will give it them. They wil lie, cheat and trample over anyone to get it. The only difference between one side and another is they hurt different people in getting whatthey want. All we can hope for is that as long as they are fighting each other they will be doing us less harm.

What worries me most about democracy is that we all vote for someone who is mad enough to think they can run a country. Who is daftest? Use your votes properly next time - don't vote for anyone. Imagine how seriously buggered an election would be if everyone abstained!
