Or maybe you like whores and drug-users in the streets? That's what democracy has brought to us. I'm very "thankful".

I'm sorry for your terrible experiences with democracy. It used to work in the United States-until election night of 2000.

Please enlighten people like me regarding what happened-and understand that I'm not trying to be sarcastic. I understand that things have gone wrong with your democratic experiment-much like they've gone wrong in America.

I sympathize with your feelings and hope you will somehow be able to make it work.

Hell! Who am I talking about? I might as well be talking to an American, as well as you, because the U.S. is only a democracy ON PAPER. In reality, it's become a fascist theocracy.

Fox News and Bush are two sides of the same counterfiet coin. IGNORE ANYTHING THEY HAVE TO SAY.
