What am I talking about? Why, the internet, of course (after all, it's about the only hope we have of seeing a real Revolution these days)! Need an example? Then try this.

As long as there are no referendums included, it is amazing how many times a referendum can be called against one subject, just because the people did not vote the way politicians wanted them to.

Well, that's the way it's done, is it not? That is, they keep on holding the referendums until they get the result "they" want!  Myself, I'm looking forward to the day when I can add my vote at the click of a mouse button ... you know, on things like ... * "Should this murderer hang"? [y/n] Or, better yet ... click [ Here] to operate the trap! I'm sure we could all come up with other examples where the "voice of the people" needs to be heard loud and clear. Bankers, corrupt politicians, pirates, child abusers etc., etc.* Other capital crimes shall also apply!

First you should choose the method of execution, then execute, electric chair, guillotine, lethal injection (too clean) Hanging or firing squad,

It's your tax money that keeps a roof over their head and pays for their meals, quite expensive as well.

Can we still send em to Australia...? No, sorry, you need to have an honours degree not a criminal record these days. Thankfully, I got in before they tightened things up !!
