Oh dear. You seem to be basing all your knowledge about this on the media.
And they always tell the truth/the whole story don't they.

Loving your country is one thing, but believing a bunch of money grabbing $£%^$^%'s is another.

Now, now, I said they don't always tell the truth, not the same as saying they never tell the truth.

I'm just naturally paranoid of people that promote interesting wars like USA vs Iran, and only say anything about the largest explosives haul in the UK after much prodding (All the explosives belonged to a white fella so wasn't 'newsworthy').

Media peeps are usually in it for the money/fame/power. Same as the politicians really, and look how trustworthy they are.

no we're not, it's just that people that become politicians are generally &*%$s, so we just need to change the way people get elected, for instance, the use of lie detectors, 24 hour surveillance, actual background checks, before someone is even gets to the prelims.

Then, with actual decent people in place in the government, we could change the WHOLE system, viva la revolution!

Hmmm, don't know about the USA, but Britain has got loads of outdated laws in place that no-one knows about, most of them are cow grazing rights, and random other unhelpful things, but there is probably something about "your current governing body it rubbish," most interesting laws can only be repealed by the King/Queen, so would still be valid...

Anyone know anything 'bout that kind of thing?
