Changing the words "Liberal Democrat" to
"D-n-R Politicians" better describes the larger political reality.

"D-n-R" also means Do not Resuscitate.

I am completely disenchanted with our government, particularly the current imbalance of power.

I was in a meeting last week and someone very methodically proposed that our government should 'crash' and allow us to rebuild. Unfortunately, we are 'too big to fail.' Hmmmmm, when have we heard that in the recent past?
