While it is impossible to generalise, the issue we have just seen here indicates that some 'people' should not be in positions of power. While most people actively fight for freedom, some actively oppose it. Fortunately the Greens are a fringe minority.

But once given power the megalomania presents serious problems for freedoms - witness Bob Brown and mantra.

for all you not capable of understanding the connection betweenn DT's reply and the original topic. basically does not agree that an entire sex can be excluded from leadership.

basically we should judge leaders not on their sexual organs but rather on the content of their character's and abilities.
