Very true - just look at the zoo (no, I'm not saying this to insult innocent
animals, I just need _some_ comparison) we've got for a government over here
in Germany. Was it on this list that quite a while ago someone used this as
a footer line: "The word politics is derived from "poly", meaning many, and
"ticks", meaning blood-sucking parasites" ? Sounds quite funny - but it's
also dead-on target, which makes it quite serious. I think of that phrase
almost every time I hear, watch or read the news - I find it hard to think
of any statement that contains more truth.
