Dude, seriously I've been to Australia and I love it out there. I was in Perth for about a week while I was in the U.S. Navy. The thing is, you can start your own thread about anything you want to talk about. So what if we're talking about our presidential elections right now. It's the big news in the US right now. I'm also part of a discussion about the European Union wanting to unify their militaries. There are plenty of threads for you aussies if you really want them. Point is, don't come to a thread just to criticize it because it doesn't talk about your country. And just for your info, our news on the next president does revolve around the world because our current president, Bush, has left the next president a # storm to clean up around the world!

Seeing as this is a recognized CT site, and seeing as how many of the erudite posters I have seen appear to be aware of the true 'nature' of the political party structure and it's relationship to the MSM. Why would the graphic you chose fail to include those who weren't among the MSM 'anointed.' Was their blessing what you were really waiting for?

It make little difference to me, mind you, but it seems like you are agreeing (tacitly) with the notion that 'those are the choices' in a scenario which in reality does not limit you to said choices. Ignore me, I'm just being technical.
