[kj] Off US Election / Georgia / Israel Topic: Peel Sessions CD

[pssyche23]

I agree with Per about volume of posts ... it's the old chat page/malimg 
list arguement ... for me, yeah, I'd like to see the democrats triumph BUT I 
can't help feeling that it is just an illusion ... ultimately, whoever wins, 
big corporations rule the US therefore whether it's the fresh prince Obama 
or old man John and the hot hockey mom, little changes ... don't worry 
folks, it's no different on this side of the pond ... many of the Labour 
MP's are too "career focused" to let ideals get in the way. It was quite 
funny how London reacted to the (tory toff) major Boris Johnson putting up 
the fares ... not in his manifesto of course ... an £84 milllion hole in the 
budget ... all Ken Livingstone's fault ... he conned the electorate ... NO, 
he had a cheap oil deal with Hugo Chavez and was going to increase the 
congestion charge for 4x4 gas guzzlers ... Boris choose to cancel both 
without realising the impact ... the twats who voted for him deserve the 
increases, the rest of us don't ...
