That is a difficult one. TBH most (all) education systems simply do not have the time for everyone to question everything. On the other hand, I can give you a seriously worrying (from the point of view of getting voters to think about what they are voting for) incident from the 1987 general election campaign... I was out canvassing with three or four others, walking through an estate on the edge of Dunblane. Suddenly a window was thrown open and a woman shouted at at one of us "Are you no' Alison H.....n?" Alison acknowledged that she was. "Your husband's on the telly, aye?" Alison again acknowledged that that was true. "Whit party's youse all for? I'm voting or you." The chief canvasser told her which party we were campaigning for, and then made another tick on her list. -- Russell http://www.russell-hafter-holidays.co.uk Russell Hafter Holidays E-mail to enquiries at our domain Need a hotel? <http://www.hrs.com/?client=en__blue&customerId=416873103>
