Also, referring to the representatives. They have just as much a vested interest in keeping the system the way it is as anyone else in the established order. Talking to them will not do a blind bit of difference. And I could vote for another one - were it not for the interesting two party system we have.
I place no trust in my representatives whatsoever to carry out my wishes, and neither do many on the left wing.
Well, that is of course, your right. But frankly I can't understand why people who don't like the system blame those of us who don't DISLIKE the system for the ills of the world. I guess my opinion has always been, if you don't like it, try to change it within the system. And I know that's easier said than done, but hey, I'm also for the majority rule, so for me, things aren't as 'bad' as they may seem to someone who has views that aren't in that majority.
I dunno, I don't always take these threads so deadly seriously as some people do, mainly because I do see that it's all an intellectual debate here and not likely to actually change anyone's mind nor will 'winning' point here fix what anyone perceives as being wrong with any country.
Still, I'm pleased to meet you and pleased to see how others think about some of these topics. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Cloudy, moderate
