Thanks, Mel. Not less prone to corruption I think (that’s a symptom of the human condition) but Anglo-Saxon/Celtic society in Britain doesn’t have much tolerance for it.

I’ve long thought that the Anglo-Saxons, for all their faults, are less prone to corruption than most folk. Should I now send that particular thought to file 13?

Also, very good post DEM. You’re an ace sheila in my eyes!!!!

I feel the same way as More, as I've said a while ago in a post here. The problem with democracy is that some of the people who seek office are self-promoters who are more interested in grandstanding, making themselves look good, and getting what they can out of it, rather than genuinely serving the public.

More in “Utopia” wrote something to the effect that those who seek office should be banned from it for life.

When can we have the same much-needed events over hear in Oz? Do we even have a committee on standards in public life?
