"If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."

Nice about the Indain call centres. I get called everyday by them

Re: BBC on China and India
Yep, I agree...I'd like to be reassured on the EU reform bit...red tape is literally killing buisness in some areas to my knowledge. Though yes, the ''bra wars'' are blatantly daft

Re: BBC on China and India
India's going to do well, maybe China.
America and Europe are going to be on top for a long time though... Hopefully as long as I'm around.

I have been having a pro longed absence from the .org for multiple reasons, I might pop my head in every now and then from now on but I can't see it being any more than that anymore. Hello though, nice to see you :)
I probably should make a comment on the topic - I think India and China becoming superpowers and challenging the US hegemony can only be a good thing and if Europe unites and uses the new possibilities on offer form this, we too can make our own area much safer, stronger and far more prosperous for everyone. It has been far too long in coming, keep on with the reforms China.

Re: BBC on China and India
here, here! Let China become a superpower, and the US might wake up to reality one day and find itself confronted with a big bully next door threatening to steal his pocket money. Perhaps some good relations with China and we could negotiate Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories back to us. China becoming a superpower would certainly let Europe do better, since US businesses might have less of a monopoly on various things.
