Churchill lived in far more testing times than ours, but he always revered the ancient tradition of Britain's "unwritten constitution". I imagined him becoming flesh again and walking purposefully toward Downing Street - without security, of course - there to address Tony Blair and his aides on their sacred duty as the guardians of Britain's Parliament and the people's rights.

it's very sad to me that today's leaders are acting so scared and doing their best to remind us how scared we all should be. the result of this is that they see our rights as being secondary and thus expendable.

not only is it sad, but it concerns me that it is absolutely not a winning attitude.

hey ...

hey summer, will you add the tag "politics" to this clipmark so it has a chance to be popped to the home page politics channel?
