The problem here is democracy. It doesn't work, sure its a nice idealogy and sounds great when preached from the rooftops and steps of parliament.

The fundamental flaw is that the vote of an intellect is equal to the vote of a fool.

Australia is full of uneducated, ignorant, sheltered and lazy fools. If it's not happening in their street, aussies don't care. Thats why Today Tonight rates so well and why we are so racist, why we constantly vote NO on referenda, why we are opposed to change no matter how progressive and why we couldn't give a toss about the future as long as Footy is on the telly and Dominos still delivers.

Australians traditionally have no understanding of foreign policy, economics, trade or wealth re-distribution, so we tend to entrust our livelihood to whoever dangles the biggest carrot or which ever party we 'dislike' less.

Also these fools greatly outnumber those capable of making an informed decision, and if these fools don't turn up to vote we fine them.

Sucks don't it. At least there's footy on tonight, and I wouldn't mind Pizza....
