Attila Dimedici writes "Two thirds of the students at NYU would give up their right to vote in the next election for a full scholarship. Some would be satisfied with an ipod. A few would be willing to give up the right for the rest of their lives for one million dollars."

Q: What's the height of insolence?
A: Vote for PiS and leave the country.
(PiS is a major party, extreme right-wing when it comes to religion, nationalism and authoritarism, strong left economically). And no wonders, there's a mass emigration going out of Poland...

People try to do this crap with the founding fathers about how "oh they were just rich elitists too". Well some of them surely were, the famous ones not so much. They were felons and revolutionaries and were well aware that if their little rebellion were to fail... "We must all hang together, or assuredly we will all hang separately". Fancy that...government officials that actually DID risk their lives... No they are most certainly not the same as the current crop of sniveling spineless greedy jingoistic wack jobs we have today.
