Democracy, government of the people, by the people, and for the people, is only as good as the governed demand. As recent elections in several places around the globe have illustrated, this leaves a lot to be desired. However, until we invent a better system, it is the best one can get. The presidential race in the US is heating up too and is being closely watched by the citizens of the world. For better or worse, the results of this contest will have repercussions everywhere. Later this year we'll know whether Bush gets gored or Gore gets bushed. In the meanwhile, enjoy this week's words (all of them selected by a single vote  ) about government, politics, and elections.

Here's a good place to talk about politics, guys. Pulled from the bottom of the last page, too.

Great, jimthedog! A new home for non-word political diatribes! 'Cause trying to keep up with all the assorted outbursts on various threads leaves me feeling really bushed!

And now that we're here, there's so little being said. Kind of like when we went on vacations as a little kid. The urge to use the bathroom only hit after we drove down the freeway's on-ramp and not three minutes earlier when we were at the rest stop.
(have I subconsciously tied together using the toilet and talking politics?)

OK, you want some more C4 - here's a question about the language of international politics: Is a fascist still correctly called a fascist, or an assassin still called an assassin, even when they are agents of a 'friendly' (nameless Middle East) government? sorry, Max!
