I paraphrased him, "I see. Democracy is too important to be left in the hands of the people." He thought I was agreeing with him and he nearly kissed me. I think of this nearly every day. <br />I am also interested in some of the noises Mark Carney is making. He has apparently said that Greek's decision to hold a referendum is a good one, and last week was applauding Occupy.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11131927710530023725noreply@blogger.com
