You mean for a Lawyer who graduated from Columbia, then from Harvard Law School?
You wouldn't think twice about it if he were a white guy with those credentials.
Uppity Naygras, eh?
Why hasn’t BHO made his school record public?

a few more generations......and that attitude will be a lot more rare and frowned upon. Cultural sensitivity programs will be the big thing.

I hope you're right. I suspect that our whole civilization is in deep danger and a couple of generations from now, institutions like Democracy could be gone to the dust bin. It's evolution/devolution time.

Valid point......and there seems to be a pendulum factor. ergo your evolution/ devolution dynamic . Could democracy survive in a world where most nations are authoritarian??... As a premise it might not be aggressive enough. It might have to morph intro something a bit different to survive.

Democracy requires that there be a healthy Middle Class but their jobs are all becoming automated and the sun is slowly setting on it.

The default governance structure of our species is Thugocracy and Serfdom.

We were never designed to be ruled by psychopaths, call me racist but they belong in the back of the bus rather than the driver's seat. Anybody going to change that??

Democracy doesn't "require a middle class"...LOL

Some democracies like the six nations confederacy went for hundreds of years with out even using money. Then there is India.

Psychopaths belong in the mental health system.........or an institution. ( many of whom should be in jail. many are) Thy are anti social personality disorders....and prone to crime and or destruction of one type or another.

OH CLUELESS CDN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The Middle Class is now composed almost exclusively of civil service union HOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


AND THAT is what all the SCREAMING IS ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Ordinary people can no longer afford.....................................



LIE-beral policy that has long mandated that anybody who works for THEIR govt.........................


should get a GREAT WAGE.............................................


and LIE-beral policy has LONG MANDATED...................................


that every economic activity MUST BE REGULATED by as many HOGS as possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-berals NEED to BUY HOG VOTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Thus LIE-berals BELIEVE in labour intensive work...........................


since it gives so many people jobs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It was Linda McQuaig who told us that LIE-beral govt could achieve FULL EMPLOYMENT.................................


if it just borrowed enough money to CREATE JOBS for us all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And LOOK AT US NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Record levels of employment..............................................



AND RECORD levels of debt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Turns out McQuaig is full if SH+T............................................


just as I always said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


She CLAIMED we did not have a revenue problem..................................


she claimed we had a "contribution problem"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


She CLAIMED that if we got everybody working and paying taxes at govt MAKE WORK JOBS................................


then the world would be a HAPPY PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


To bad her grand plan is about to run head on into the debt wall....................................


and prove her ideas are CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



But then the infamous NDPer Bob Rae long ago proved that borrowed money DOES NOT MAKE YOU RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But borrowing as much money as Ontari-owe premier Rae did....................................


DOES ACHIEVE other things..................................


such as WRECKING the BOOB RAE career so badly that he dropped out of NDP............................


and became a LIE-beral!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And Rae also DOUBLED the Ontari-owe debt in four short years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Consider an old City of Toronto contract for re-roofing a portion of HISTORIC Casa Loma........................


a central roof area covered with ANCIENT clay tiles was leaking.................................


water damage increasing inside the building as the tiles aged and cracked and crumbled....................................


so the city set up a bidding process to get a new clay tile roof........................................


AND IT SOUNDS SIMPLE ENOUGH....................................


rip off and dispose of old tiles......................................


and put on new ones.....................................


but WHO would expect Silly Hall HOGS to ask: "how many of the old tiles do the roofing bidders THINK........................


are still in good enough condition that they..........................................


CAN BE RE-USED?????????????????????????????????


Silly Hall has a policy of getting as many jobs as possible for its bucks.............................


and sorting out rotten clay tiles into only bad and truly awful piles.....................................


IS EXTRA LABOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And TOO BAD all the extra handling is bad for the tiles anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



And HELLO???????????????????????????


ANY IDIOTS paying attention at Silly Hall?????????????????????????????


The roof is old and rotten.......................................


the building fabric is being damaged by the constant leaks......................................



by comparison...................................................



if you trashed your old rust bucket car...................................


HOW MANY OLD PARTS WOULD YOU WANT TO REUSE ON YOUR NEW CAR????????????????????


If the thing is old and worn out......................................


then WHY are you trying to re-use parts of it???????????????????????????


In the end- Silly Hall Hogs awarded the contract to the company that LIED.......................................


and promised to REUSE a "LOT of the valuable antique tiles"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And then later charged extra to buy the new tiles anyway................................


since so many of the old tiles were suddenly not good enough to reuse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But Silly Hall DID MAKE a lot of extra work...........................


before the roof was fully replaced!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
