  Heh, heh ...... yes, tear off the little name-tags that say
  Tory or Labour or Sensible Party, Dem or Republican,
  and it just says "professional politician" underneath  :-)
  Same breed for the past 12,000 years or more.

  I suspect some Great Civilizatons during the ice age
  too ... done in by 'climate change' ... so 12,000 years
  may be a very conservative estimate. People have
  been people for nearly 300,000 years and who's to
  say how the Neanderthals ran things.
