Don't take my curmudgeonliness...I know you do, d.a. Don't take my curmudgeonliness too personally.<BR/><BR/>My main difficulty with you (and I know, it's my problem, not yours) is that you take those other two (you know of whom I speak) seriously. You seem to believe they are actually North Korean communists. They are far right-wingers having sport with the "weak-minded lefties."<BR/><BR/>Every time you make an anti-communist argument with them they're laughing at you simply because you don't get it.<BR/><BR/>God forbid you might actually be in favor of the occasional government intervention (as I am), and they tar you by association -- <I>WITH THEMSELVES!!!</I><BR/><BR/>Thanks for dropping by.

I think having 3 main political parties strengthens debate, while countries like Italy are crippled by the many different parties that make up the government.<BR/><BR/>America has two. And as much as I'd like to say I want the Democrats to do well, they just aren't the sort of people I'd vote for in a British setting.<BR/><BR/>I really can't imagine the Democrats doing anything radically different like promoting democracy.<BR/><BR/>I saw this somewhere and laughed, but its pretty true.<BR/><BR/>"Fighting for freedom is like f**king for virginity".<BR/><BR/>You'll be glad to know that although I don't always agree with you, I do think you make good points.<BR/><BR/>d.
