When we started to enforce Prohibition, there were people who supported Prohibition that were shocked and surprised to learn that beer and wine were illegal in addition to hard liquor.
Representative democracy such as a Parliament or Congress (with a side helping of executive cabinets or departments) who can at least have a hearing on the matter to review all arguments before they act. They can still screw it up, but it gives slightly better odds than leaving it to the public. We would never get a…
My feelings on Scottish independence have done a complete 180 in the last 12 hours, which may be the fastest reversal I’ve ever managed.
I’d love to see them just re-vote, with a quick “Right! Sorry about before, then!” But in a British accent so it’ll be all charming.
cameron wanted to win the election. so he promised a referendum if he was elected, never expecting the british public would be so shortsighted and stupid ... he took a gamble and lost. BIG TIME. and now so have we all.
AND THIS IS WHY COMPLEX POLITICAL DECISIONS SHOULD NOT BE LEFT TO THE VASTLY UNINFORMED AND MISINFORMED PUBLIC. gahhhhhhhhhhh!
I was reading the comments on some article the other day and a woman commented that if Bernie didn’t get the nom she would vote Green Party before she would vote for Hillary and another commenter took her to task saying you know, you and other Bernie supporters will be the reason Trump is elected if you all do that…

It is absolutely laughable for anybody to think that the remaining EU countries will feel generous in doing large amounts of business with the likes of England…
Because it actually hurts the economy of the UK. There is no way it will positively affect it. On top of that, the Brexit campaign was largely run on a platform of xenophobia and racism. John Oliver did a great piece on Last Week Tonight that was extremely accessible.
Here’s an actual break down of the economic…
I was laughing when some British politician on CNN was telling Christiane Amanpour that Britian had the 5th largest economy in the world so they will be just fine. He seemed very sure of himself and quite smug about it. Unfortunately for him, he’s going to get a very rude awakening when Britian starts losing jobs and…
Because he stopped being a honest dude awhile ago. It’s become about ego and his super delegate hypocrisy was the last straw for lots of people.
We actually do want change. We just know that doesn’t happen by merely shouting into the wind and calling people names.
Yes, he keeps talking about “defeating Donald Trump” and that “we” have to make sure Donald Trump doesn’t become President.
“It’s not about me,” he spent 80 minutes saying.
Oh Bernie, whatever. Nobody cares any more except maybe reddit, which is to say, I repeat myself, nobody cares.
