Democracy in the end requires a certain amount of restraint when holding the levers of power. Some noblesse oblige. There's a striking comparison available for the US and UK with immature democracies, where people are still coming to grips with the concept, tribalized, and not entirely committed to a center that must hold. We know Australia and Canada have democracies that can handle diversity and not succumb to greed, but they aren't big players. UK, US, France and Germany. The latter two have big tests next year. We're gonna see where a line can be drawn and sinking further below it will become very difficult. I know that some of those US companies thinking about potential repatriation of overseas income are watching closely, as these are big, long-term decisions.Last edited by hack; December 16, 2016, 02:37 PM.

I hear a lot of "What does it matter who hacked it, if the emails were true"
i find it hard to believe that no matter what side you are on, you are OK with a foreign government influencing our elections.
I also think it the shoe was on the other foot, they would be singing a different tune. And if they think that the Republicans don't have just as many skeletons in their closets, the are high.Last edited by CGVT; December 17, 2016, 09:33 PM.I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on
