    Maybe you should make the change on your website.
    McDowell drafted the first divorce referendum bill. Liz made that speech about the church everyone seemed to like. We have been consistantly the most liberal economically.

    and yet you've intoruced the most conservative drink laws since the 1920s, forced a company to pay more than 100 million to its main compitition, and support protectionist barriers.

    Some Liberals, maybe you should change it to "Liberal...sorta...well more liberal than the others anyway"

    It's a conservative country and the constitution says government is a collective process and we have 8 seats. We can be damn proud of our achievements

    They are if it's produced to the same standards as food is here. And as it stands we have no way of knowing if it is. Enjoy your Brazilian beef.
