Response to your post over at Lawyers, Guns, and Money:
Amen, brother. I too hate how we do elections, generally.
What I do like is the groveling. I like that candidates to be the "most powerful person in world" ® have to grovel, pander, and generally debase themselves for at least a little bit, given the general impunity, privilege, and immunity they will have upon assumption of office.
But, yes, there must be a better way.

Nelson Mandela first came to mind.

Moving.

I don't have a television. Maybe I don't really care anymore for world events. I rely upon friends for news. This was heartening.

Yes. I imagine they first made sure to get the mineral rights locked in for another hundred years. Makes sorry a lot easier to say.

A long time coming, I would think. You can't make the past wrongs go away, but you can take responsibility and move on the right way.

Sad how so many of us even today make life so hard for so many others...

What worried me is that Britain might now also have to apologise to the Aborigines for sending the convicts over in the first place whose descendants are now having to apologise for.

Isn't that some sort of split-infinitive up with which yourself and Winston will not put?
