1. Gordon brown was also explicitly voted in as a member of parliament by his electorate.
2. Deputy schmeputy, you are presuming that the Westminster system should follow rules of succession that don't exist. It is up to the dominant party or coalition to decide who is in government during any parliamentary term. And it has been common knowledge since before the last election that Brown would be likely taking over from Blair at some point.
I wonder how our friends in the US would react if Bush was forced out of office, some other Republican with significantly different views was appointed to replace him without a vote,
If Bush quit office today, Cheney would take over as president, with out any further voting, for the remainder of the presidential term. So how is this different from Blair's deputy, Brown, taking over when public pressure forces Blair to resign?
"Pre-historic" means before history. In other words before there was written language. The times of the jewish kingdom described in the bible are part of written history even if some of it is exaggerated.
I think it's ridiculous to place humanity above nature. We are apart of nature, anything we do is natural. If we kill ourselves by destroying the environment then it's no different than if a pack of wolves starve to death because they hunted their food to extinction.
I have heard this argument before but what does it even mean?
Do the starving wolves have arguments when the food sources start to dwindle where some of their leaders are funded by special interests to say: Nothing is wrong, it's all part of natural prey population fluctuations?
We can choose to behave like bacteria in a petrie dish. But even if we are that dumb, we have already broken from a "natural" response since the wolves/bacteria/etc at no stage are choosing to annihilate themselves.
The French were a lot more helpful when they were listening to enlightenment philosphers instead of Marx.
American war of independence: 1776
French revolution: 1789
It was not enlightenment thinkers helping the Americans against the British, it was the French monarchy trying to undermine their British rivals.
Of course, the clever plan to support popular uprisings in the British colonies led to a little bit of "blowback" for the monarchy. It was after that the French started listening to "enlightenment thinkers" and lopped off some heads.
I have to agree that the Windows for command has got to be the most "intuitive" command I've ever seen! Yeah anyone new to Windows who wanted to set a variable to the output of a command would immediately just think:
for/F "usebackq delims==" %i IN (`some command`) DO @set var=%i

thanks for the link. thats what I get for trusting google. ;^(
so it could already have started!!!1!!
the whole solar system would not collapse. Earth would become a 9mm diameter black hole, still orbited by the moon, ISS, and other existing satellites. according to here anyway: http://teamwak.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-to-destroy-earth-part-3.html
why not just click the "remove tag" link under the photo?

IIRC, (explicitly) perpetual copyright is also prohibited by that document. :^)
... yeah I wonder how it does?
so that was a double-bit seat count :)
I am almost convinced

Phrenology.
And therefore shouldn't your comment be moderated "funny" rather than "interesting"?
(this one is "informative")

Totally agree with we have to start locally rather than wait for other countries.
That said I am in Australia where our leader, Johh Howard, has committed us to being part of the problem rather than any real solution. :-(

"Nothing. I'm all right."

What country is that? Is it one that wants to look like Afghanistan or Iraq?
Why not do it yourself with rlwrap?
It's the way readline should be used!
so why the delay?
Something to do with the process?
