Can I add my best wishes for you on your birthday when it comes along Bill, That you are still messing with Morgans and covering the miles you have done puts me to shame... I suspect you may be up to if not exceeding the mileage that the GoMoG webmaster covered in his travels in North America and Europe... I take my hat off to you guys, and of course the new breed of M3W adventurers who seem to have taken up the mantle.. (-:
Lightspeed, we have been through very similar processes as you have in the US folk voted for a personality, and promises in the hope of removing power from the old guard, much the same as they have done in other parts of Europe, and for very similar reasons.... Trump would seem to have dismantled the establishment. In the UK it seems Boris Johnstone`s main advisor seeks to cut the civil service to the bare minimum...Brexit has divided the country down the middle. and where that might end, nobody knows, though there were plenty of promises...
Thus it seems possible that personality culture and promises for change can gain results...? Thinking of the female porn star who sought election in Rome, I think she won, then of course there was Berlusconi who despite his record was voted in more than once (-: Bunga Bunga boy.. (-: I think that currently the UKRAINE has a premiere who initially played the part of being the premiere of that country on TV.... Hmm....!!! So there you go Lightspeed plenty of turmoil to contemplate if in the mood to do so... Me..? I`d rather just not bother. (-:
I remember that “kiddy porn Star” who carried a Teddy Bear as her symbol of something. She did indeed get elected and none of the rest of the electorate would let her speak he first day in office. She had the idea that if she took her top down in parliament that would get them to shut up and let her speak, she did and the idea worked. My father was living in Italy at the time and I in the USA but we communicated regularly and that generated many laughs. We both were Economist readers and I recall it was discussed in that publication too.
Whatever gets change with bullets flying is a good thing, regardless the morality or religious impact.
Trump might not be what people want but the changes are having some positive impact on modifying thought on both political parties. The crazies are showing themselves on both sides.
