True, but picking on a group that through no fault of their own are mentally challanged is about as low as one can go. Do you supposed that little boy is happy that he is being ridiculed as a "poster child" for someone's smart ass comments? Mental illness and deficiency is not something most people have any control over. You on the other hand can frequent only granola munching vegan establishments to avoid being "offended". And you made a choice to be vegetarian, that little boy did not chose to be born "special".
"Arguing on the internet is like being a vegetarian, even if you win you are........." Anyone got any good conclusions? Granola munching potato head comes immediately to mind here combined with a picture of a 60's hippy dope smoking vegan. Offended yet?
As for fixed elections , they end the spectre of govts dragging the agony of being lame duck, low populaity etc into a fifth year, like Trudeau did in 1984, and Mulroney in 1993, prior to going down in flames. On the other hand they end the possibility of calling an election at the three year point as fiberal Chretien did in 2000 when there was no unified opposition to his reign. The advantages outweigh the negatives. A minority govt still will be defeated if they fail a vote of confidence and an election called regardless of the timeline.
Spot on! While fixed elections may be less complicated, the benefit of having flexible elections far outweighs that complication.
I'm really sorry for taking a long time to respond. I went to the beach (where I did in fact get a few remarks about my toe) and lazed around for a while.
