If by sham of a democracy you mean not even close to socialism Ian, that's fine. But to put some kind of "this is Bushitler's fault" spin on it is pretty damned silly.

If you're really looking to blame somebody for this type of reaction....to this type of thing...look no further than your own beloved double M and his "Bowling For Columbine".
