Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.
Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
I would suggest that this is what is likely to happen when all major political parties are largely controlled by the wealthy; the main policy differences between the Republican and Democratic parties are which wealthy entities support each one more.
ReplyDeleteWhich is why I favor publicly financed elections - it should reduce the legal bribery.
I find this post to be very interesting. Is it your work or if not could you supply the original url???
