I don't think we still have space to stretch this already wounded nation with its anchor of corruption.Azaleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15924552955377199029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1173899721227605832007-03-15T04:15:00.000+08:002007-03-15T04:15:00.000+08:00MB,We ALWAYS give them the benefit of the doubt!

That is also what elections DO!<BR/><BR/>We must NEVER lose the power to put them there and AND remove them too. That is the meaning of Democracy and Freedom, that WE the people have the power. <BR/><BR/>At each cycle, we can never be sure of what the leaders will do, but without the flexibility to do so, we will never know what they CAN do. If we tie their hands then they cannot steer the Ship of State in directions that even WE, the people cannot imagine possible.<BR/><BR/>That is what leaders do: imagine, inspire, execute.Deany Bocobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443168826029321831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1173859850825388332007-03-14T17:10:00.000+08:002007-03-14T17:10:00.000+08:00Mb,You are right about corruption of course.

Even China does not have such restrictions. Also his real point was we ought to have the flexibility to impose or not impose such protectionist rules. Not tie our hands.Deany Bocobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443168826029321831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1173771033086156672007-03-13T16:30:00.000+08:002007-03-13T16:30:00.000+08:00Thanks Nostalgia.
