You're right - 10-20 ruddy-faced white men cheering for a racist will probably fill the screen.

Strange world we live in when most of us are not white (or pure), most of us are not men, most of us that give-a-shit are not old and endowed. And yet they get to tell all of us what to do. And they don't even follow their own rules.

Time for one person (resident), one vote. (Non)representative government is a failure in these times.
