What you fail to understand is that fearing the people is a bad thing. Not fearing them is a good thing. Even Helen Clark could safely wander down my driveway and I would invite her in for a nice cup of tea. She would not need a bunch of security people. We are not discussing the odd murderous crazy person here, but general insurrection. The reason the politicians in the free world feel no fear is because they know the voters will turf them out at the next election and have no need for recourse to weapons. The reason China's bosses supposedly feel fear [ which I doubt] is that the population has no mechanism to get rid of them other than by armed insurrection. You thinking that the way they do it in China is good is why it was important 100 years ago to ensure that better values were established in Canada rather than being over-run by China. No doubt people in China would have liked to charge Japanese a head tax in the lead up to World War II rather than having them gradually [and quickly] taking over. Can Japanese freely move into China now and do what they like as you seem to think Canadians should have accepted in the 19th century? Mqurice
