Three For Three

It's been an important 12 months for the Coalition of the willing. Howard, Bush and Blair, all up for re-election, in the face of having supposedly lied to their populaces, of having supposedly gone to war against the wishes of the majority, all three get re-elected comfortably.

Frankly, I'm amazed, disgusted and then again, not at all surprised. I want to say democracy is dead, if it ever existed; I want to say freedom is an illusion; i want to say that nothing will change if we don't stop whingeing and don't starting doing, that sitting around holding highbrow conversations and debating with our peers is useless, that the power is with the people, as it always has been, and that if nothing's being done to change them, to open their eyes, if we don't stop thinking about ourselves then we might as well be lying on our backs in the grass and spitting into the air; this is what I want to say, but what's the point when nobody's listening?
