[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 795227, member: 31608"] I don't disagree with you in any sense, but I would hazard that relying on mutual respect in order to facilitate politics is being a little idyllic. To elaborate, I would say that when the reward of a political contest is money and power, why bother with respect - just win; especially, since once you have won the people generally forget rather quickly and move on to some other issue. It seems that the political reality of the world is much more Machiavelli then it is Thomas More. [/QUOTE]
