First the wind tried very hard to blow it off. Colder and colder and stronger and stronger became the wind and tighter and tighter the man held his coat closed. Nothing the wind did mattered. It gave up. It was the sun's turn. All it did was just come out quietly. The man removed his coat. Lesson of course is that you don't have to be a cold persistent blowhard to get people's attention. A sunny smile, a kind hello and you're good to go. less

Why infringe on the right of the obscenely wealthy movers and shakers to squeeze an extra dime, an extra pound of flesh, an extra drop of blood? Why indeed?

But the fundamental issue here is do you approve of pols manipulating/reconfiguring the voter base? Is it your cuppa tea to stack whatever deck is available and tilt whatever playing field you can to "win"?

A third is awaiting an operation. Put yourself in their shoes. Imagine what that would be like? Whatever your woes I hope they don't reach this level.
They say they are the party of Family Values and Morality and they back a pedophile. What is moral about that? Where are the Family Values inherent in that?
