My Manifesto: The Incoherent Ramblings of a Madman

My poor QLD lost easily in the end after a long and valiant battle...

but on the upside - Andrew Johns didn't get man of the match, so it was still a good game...

On a side note (infact so to the side it has nothing to do with the previous statement at all): why is it that so many countries are so quick to say that democracy is the only fair form of government? why is it that so many countries are so quick to declare they are a democracy when none of them are? Is the USA a democracy? No - it is a republic that has a presidential democracy that verges on a plutocracy with the minority rich leading the majority poor. Is Australia a democracy? No - it is a federal commonwealth with a representative democracy system that inevitably leads to minority parties having the control of parliment. Is England a democracy? No...with America not being a democracy - why is it that they are so quick to try and force "regime" change to "bring democracy to the people" when it is something they have not achieved, and have no intention of achieving in their own country? Can Democracy work? Probably not, or otherwise someone would have tried it. Can Communism work? We've already seen that in its purest form that it fails - what no one seems to understand is that the forms of government we are parading around as Democracy have more in common with Communism than anyone will ever admit.

America may have won the "cold war" battle - but Russia won the war before it had even begun.
