On this site I am viewed as a liberal but actually I am not, not much. I would just like them to get something done instead of endlessly fighting wars with each other.

Clearly apart from such happenings, I distrust all-too-discussionless government much more.
The way EU central bank buying certain papers was rammed down in clear violation of all those rules
guarding the independance of the central bank was dishartening. Also every time the government
gets a setback at collecting personal data a worse law is pushed forward.

Be glad for the devil you have (again not talking about the shooting)
