CM,

I'm a Yank but have the same traits!

I think we probably do as good a job at self government as any
government on the Globe. We do have a couple of weakness in our system.
The weakness are named Republican and Democrat. They are also our
strength.

The two party system, at times, runs our government by their control of
the candidate they offer us as choices. We do have a system that kicks
in every four years (Election) At times some one breaks thru the two
party system and forces Party backing. Pretty much like Kerry did this
time. He cornered the nomination and forced Party endorsement.

I'm hoping he is the right man at the right time

Ole Thom
