A friend of mine that went to school in UK said the judges are 100% men even today. How bizarre, truly bizarre, truly truly truly backwards if her information is accurate. To imagine that the legal cases are determined by only men and that only men make decisions for all women, is just behind believable. But I guess it runs pretty close to Bushism.

Foreign countries have women leaders:

- Malaysia, Pakistan, Burma, etc etc etc. more than a dozen of them.

Meanwhile, the USA is stuck in the mud and is going in reverse !!!

Re: And you think Europe is up to snuff on racial relations? Gustav, I think you're over your head.

Well, as I said, Europe's ethnic minorities are today in a situation similar to that of the proletariat from 1900 to 1920 --they're disenfranchised. And, as I pointed out, it took the WWI bloodbath which exacted a total toll of over ten million dead for the European bourgeoisie to grant full-fledged franchise to most adult men and women (varying from country to country).

WWI was an imperial orgy whereby European rulers --the aristocracy and upper bourgeoisie-- pitted millions of their brainwashed cannon fodders against each other... Every pitched battle cost tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of lives in a single week or month...(*) So much so that, in 1917, Russia started enrolling --forcibly-- 16-year-old and 50-year-old boys/men to keep the fight on the eastern front. Such a bloody mess eventually triggered the Bolshevik revolution in October/November 1917 --and its German copycat in 1918-1919 (Kiel mutiny, Bavarian secession, etc.)(**)

I'm afraid the same catastrophe is looming today: Judeofascist elites in both the US and Europe are likewise pitting their lily-white constituencies against the Muslim rabble in what is yet a bloodless Kulturkrieg, or is it? False-flag state terrorism has already killed several thousand people (from 9/11 to Bali to sharm el-Sheik to Istanbul to Madrid...)

Likewise, if the ongoing terroristic "Great War" spins out of control, leading to nuclear terrorism in Europe and the US, I expect a revolutionary wave will sweep our reckless leaders (from Bush to Blair to Berlusconi to...) faster than it took for the Bolsheviks to get rid of the Romanovs....
