One of the outcomes of the American revolution (although not a
principle and immediate one, despite the propaganda) is that you have

to local, state and national governmental behaviour. I shall resist
any temptation to comment on the California recall to observe that, in
general, Americans exercise this judgement fairly responsibly.

Of course, much of what you claim seems to be fantasy, as well, but,
by all means, troll on, Gavin.

If I am a troll (which in this instance I am not, although I'm
