After seeing many of the opinions of many Americans on these boards - I'm very glad that I don't live in a country where that level of bigotry and ignorance could play a role in a democratic process. Put simply - there are far too many stupid people around for democracy to work properly. Just look at the current US President. If that is what democracy gets you - time to find a better system.

Glad to know you see the truth, bugalugs. How about helping me and others in my organization to get these wishy-washy "liberals" here to understand the folly of trying to promote progressive ideals along side democracy and freedom of choice. They just don't seem to understand these elements are mutually exclusive of each other, and we have no further need to pretend otherwise.
