I concur. You are pretty much a centrist Twills.

I disappeared off the left-center-right scale of politics long ago. I certainly am not a Libertarian, or a Marxist. It feels more free that way.

Anyhow, it seems I missed extremely little by not watching Iron Lady. I avoid movies or films about political leaders or issues anymore.

Here is just one more example of what I think is wrong with the Brits, and their inablity to think straight any longer. My English History professor was right when he ended his course outline at 1945, with the title "End of England". Here's what I am talking about:

UK has changed for worse under Queen Elizabeth: poll

I mean, "Come on"! I can't decide who is the dumbest: the Reuters excuse for a journalist, or almost half of all Brits. This is like associating one's suit, haircut, or you fill in the blank, with the fact that you walked off a cliff and injured yourself. Last thing I knew, the monarch was a figurehead, and it was Parliament(voted in by the citizenry) who approved all that stupid Collectivist horseshit in the first place.

And now the blame goes to one of the only leaders who went out of her way to get Brits off that Socialist merry-go-round, which has sapped the economic strength of what used to be a great country? Give me a Break!

Mark is a Thatcherite. She did a lot for the Armed forces, I'll give her that. Now the Labour government got the forces into a right mess and this co-elation is killing as many soldiers as the Afghans due to lack of equipment.

My voting in the elections I feel is often pointless, but I try just because Emily Pankhurst got it for me.

After spending time at 24HourForums, I was made to feel like a pinko commie socialist liberal baby-killing tree-hugging illegal-alien sympathizing anti-patriot feminazi. That's because I objected to a photo someone posted of Michelle Obama made to look like a gorilla. It was all a joke on their part of course, they certainly weren't racists.

Some people have no sense of humor! Hell......there are simply some people that have a close resemblance to lower primates. Dubya looks like a chimp fer chrissake! Michelle Obama DOES have gorilla-like features. There's an actor (can't figure his name out for the life of me) who resembles a baboon. He's of Italian heritage.

Are you talking about Ron Pearlman, of Hellboy, Beauty and the Beast, Quest for Fire, fame?

As for GW looking like a chimp, no way. His biggest handicap is that he's a Buggerin' Bush.

And as for Michelle O, if she resembles any ape, it would be a Gibbon.

I'm a physical anthropologist, and studying early man, and apes, was my specialty, along with the human skeleton.

I always thought perlman was very primitive looking, but I later learned that only his mandible was more robust than other parts of his cranium. It was just that he was always working with makeup on. Taken in totality he looks very primitive, but taking each point separately he is taxonomically quite modern. The frontal slope of his cranium is very high, and not sloping. The mandibular jaw is quite distinct, with no accompanying alveolar prognathism. No bun shaped occipital either. And no heavy eye orbits. He's cranium is just massive, that's all. But he still looks like a monster.
