    My Spanish teacher told us that more than 50% of Spaniards happily self-identify as racist when asked, in studies. Scary!

    And there is the problem you see. You should have elected a bunch of Macaques to run the country. They would have done a lot better job.

    Hard to argue that point, certainly at the moment. The banks as well, maybe?

    No, quite the opposite. I'm slightly to the right of Adam Smith on economic matters and a libertarian on social issues and consider myself a conservative generally.

    It's just that I abhor racists (who, ironically, included Lenin amongst their ranks)
