I think Pinky's arguments are a valid offering to the thread. I'm not saying I agree (or disagree) with them, but they are promoting discussion in a (so far) constructive manner, especially between himself and Sage. I like reading things like that.
On an unrelated note, I feel for those that are not in this country yet know way more than you wish about this country's politics. Seriously, I can't (and this is pretty typical American here) even begin to fathom the infrastructure of most other country's political branches nor what their duties and such are. The Government/Economics classes in this country below the privately funded level are absolute shit, given that most of the time it seemed like we were just circle jerking about how fucking awesome and superior our country is to everyone else's methods while we never could offer any reasonings behind it. So it intrigues me when I see how all of you guys who are subjected to Americans staking a flag on the internet itself and frequently discussing our politics but at times rudely making it clear that we don't care about another country's own.
