Canada Day, and Politics, and the disconnection between government and people...

[pyat]

A radio address by Stuart McLean (a Canadian broadcaster) is rather worth listening to, I think.

"In politics as in everything, the process is as important as the product. You cannot kill your way to peace or lie your way to justice. The way you walk it is the way it is."

Thanks to ladyperegrine for the link.

I think the biggest example in American politics at the moment is the nearly wholesale denigration of George W. Bush.

I think he's made some seriously piss-poor decisions and has been a rather terrible leader.

I've seen nothing, (I tried to use the IMC shortcut for italics here!) nothing that tells me he's a terrible man.
