77,000 and still counting - unbelievable

[Matt Bostock]

Yep

Matt

You mean £60,000,000.

 

[1000%]

In November.

You lost.

 

[Travis Newbury]

You lost.

Sorry you can not accept the results. But it is your government for the
next 4 years. So the decisions they mare represent the country. you
are part of the country. In 4 years, you can try to change it.

 

[Brendan Taylor]

Doesn't make us bad either.

No, being bad makes you bad.

Whether you are or not is debatable; the claim being made by your
detractors is that you are bad, not that you are not the most benevolent
country the world has ever seen.

My point is that the "fact" of your benevolency is completely irrelevant.
What's yours?

I hate to inform you of your ignorance but they do not in any way shape or
form represent the entire country.

Just because someone says your bad does not mean your bad.

So are you saying that it's a representative democracy only when _your_
views are the ones being represented?

Hate to tell you (and I was on the "losing" side in this last election),
but that's not how it works.

And there's better ways to make the situation more to your liking than
sulking and distancing yourself from 'them'.

The people's views, by and large, aren't represented; only the special
interests are. If those views and goals mesh with mine, great! Often they
don't. Unfortunately, I don't have the deep pockets the special interests do,
so it's a lot harder to make my opinion known. I can't buy Congressmen - I
can't afford them.

And yes, I do go out and vote.

Yea, yea, yea, and Gore won the previous election. boo hoo.... Get
over it and get involved if you don't like the present system.

Better ways? Really? Would you recommend lobbying?
