We are not ``getting the government we deserve''. Jim Davidson
described democracy as ``that form of government where everybody
gets what the majority deserves''. Even that is not accurate,
however. All the talk about ``changing the system'' is precisely
that -- just talk -- because when you look at today's political
platforms you discover this little mentioned truth ... THEY'RE
ALL THE SAME! And to vote ``against Coutts'' or against anyone,
for that matter, it to cast a vote for the same system that produces
the same interchangeable candidates -- all lying their way into
power by promising to satisfy the short term expedient wishes of
as many warm bodies as they can get to the polls.
