Ghosts sometimes wander these halls.
Back to the OT - I regret how much religion colours American politics.
With such vast resources and wealth, so much is achieved.
But more could be.
Of course my view is coloured by my atheism. But as I've said before, I've mentally been kicked in the cunt by the current Republican Party elections. I can't even imagine how David Cameron would justify himself to Jebus, let alone Rick Santorum.
How people who enter politics (on a national level) could ever define themselves as followers of Christ beggars belief. And how any true American could try to use religion to garner votes, ditto. Same as closeted gay MPs who vote anti-gay, or those who have adulterous affairs (sometimes it seems like 80%) who rail against the break up of the family and propose tax breaks for married couples.
There are very good MPs out there who look after their constituency (demesne) without compromising the country as a whole. As in they would still pass legislation on human rights even if they had a company on their home turf employing vulnerable people.
It must be the same in American politics.
Sorry.
Stem Cell debate.
Just got a bit cross.
