    The only way that you will end government corruption is getting rid of government...it just isn’t going to happen.

    Of all the bad choices maybe the Queen and common law are your best bet in the short run...in the long run?


    Maybe government by lottery is a way to accidentally get an honest representative...

    on a slightly unrelated note, Alex Salmond appears confused about how devolution is meant to work.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/8311801.stm

    Anyway right back on topic, I like this last line, it sums up my view nicely.
