True Brit, what you describe is hegemony. And then you twist it to include some other stuff.... that just doesn't make sense.
You make it sound like the government is a bunch of Dr Evil's sitting around a big table with omnipotent powers pulling our strings like we are little puppets and that's simply a fantasy.
We can be part of government, we can serve and provide services to communities that give us more choices and enjoyment of life.

Regards hegemony, the very idea is twisted. These politicians get elected because they tell us they are the only ones who can do the job. Its all bull ... if the job is basicaly make a damned mess of things and give everyone a headache, then any pillock could do that. Hegemony , is a word used to excuse compromise . If we wanted leaders who would compromise between effective policy , and affordable spending, and end up doing nothing, then we could hang them all , take thier stuff, and then share out the proceeds among the poor. The excuse of hegemony , the idea that the politician cannot help the choices he is left with , is PATHETIC. We supposedly elect exceptional individuals to parliment, not average know nothings.

America actually still uses that useless terrorist gauging system B.S.
I was actually a little stunned to read the title of this thread and learn that europe is using this as well.
I thought Homeland Security finally took this nonsense down for good once the entire public was laughing at them for coming up with this

From what i understand:
Better yet, ban all US politicians from out country and take comfort that we will never get dragged into their illegal wars ever again, thus substantially lowering the terror level for the rest of eternity?

If our government had used the bailout money it effectively wasted on the banks to convert our nation to renewable energy then I believe it would have been a better investment, and would have meant that any potential benifits of the investment would have been nation wide, instead of how it is with the banks and bankers now. You know some of them are STILL taking million pound pay packets? Disgraceful! Thats OUR money !
