Don't politicians at least pretend to follow some principle? Claiming the previous party has adopted unacceptable policies is common. Or is it openly acknowledged that both parties are the same and interchangable? Matthew Greet Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin? - Mark Renton, Trainspotting.

I'd say Bloomberg is fairly close to Libertarian principles, but he'd never get elected under that party's banner. At the very least it's tacit acknowledgment that the parties are pretty much the same. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
