i love what you have done to it,i thought i had missed a trick with the wording.
i had,and you`ve put it right.
sometimes rhymes are predictable and you can see them coming, a bit of mystery
never hurt.
thanks

yeah it`s called democracy,the winner takes office.
it`s good that the opposition question and hold to account the govt
but the media also have a part to play,they should report facts not bias opinion.
let alone invent stories.
name calling is a great way of shutting others down. it`s almost a new art form.

This is so true. However in America this is how such a donk of a person like trump was elected.
He played to the white ignorant vote, stirred up racism to a terrible new high and surly will be ranked in the top 5 worst presidents in history.
I’m not real thrilled with Biden, but what were the alternative options?
As you say, why vote? I voted, but not real happy about what was there. It was a game of the lessor of two evils.
Wow Beamer name calling people you dont agree with is really unproductive.It assumes there is only one right way and that is yours.
it seems people on the left are best at this but by no means have a monopoly.
(maybe i should have said MINOR party in my statement.)

Re: a question of global significance (25 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Hey Phill
i bought digestives in my shopping today,thanks for reminding me about them.
In NZ the govt wanted to bring in a ``fart tax`` because of farm animals causing methane .
Well that didn`t do too well.but im sure they will try again.
In a world that people seem to want more natural,the same people are buying lab made food.
can`t they see the contradiction??
