Obama's right on Osama

I agree that graphic images of ObL should not be released: to satisfy the lust for sensationalism and to dispel the madness of pathological idiots who sense a conspiracy that ObL might still be alive - and who subscribe to the delusional idea that the US Government had a hand in the 9-11 atrocities - is far outweighed by the mandate of ethics, civility and decency. We are not like "them," who kill, behead and maime victims in front of rolling cameras.

A reminder for the peeps in England: vote NO on AV!

We see in Europe the familiar trademark unproductive and absurd fall-out from the desperate need to build coalitions, which diminish the accountability of parties and robs the electorate to swiftly oust a one-party government when things go wrong. "First-past-the-post" is a magnificent tool of democracy worthwhile to keep.
