Election Call

I believe that we are entering into an "Age of Accountability".
Democratic institutions the world over are failing their constituents, taxpayers and payers of dues and fees.

In the political world, a glaring example of this is the illegal invasion of Iraq, based on lies, in spite of opposition to war by significant portions of the publics of the invading nations.
At least a couple of news media have subsequently referred to anti-war protestors/public opinion as the "other" superpower in relation to the globes remaining military hyperpower, the US.
The subsequent inquiries in Britain and the US are due largely to public pressure.The publics cry for accountability if you will.

In the corporate world, the Board of Directors and shareholders of Hollinger Inc. are asking penetrating questions about executive salaries and bonuses. In this most conservative of media institutions/conglomerates, the cry of accountability rings out to the tune of lawsuits numbering in the tens, (if not hundreds) of millions of dollars.

In other areas, ........well.. I'll comment on those at a later date. (believe me I have a lot of experience in the lack of accountability in "other areas"-plus an opinion to go with it)
For now.........Remember these two phrases that speak to the lack of accounatbility;
Our taxes-Theirs to spend!
Our fees/dues-Their (and their families') lavish lifestyles!!

Right now I've got an election to practice accountability" on. Canada'a Prime Minister, Paul Martin, has dropped the writ, the candidates are off and running and the new Conservative party deserves my comments. Thank you for reading this, my initial post.
