Speaking of dysfunctional democracies...Wasn't it just a few weeks ago that a pack of lyin' right wingers bum rushed the United Kingdom into leaving the EU?
Just say'n...
Obomber came, he threatened, we told him to f*ck off.
Magnificent. Not since the Iraq war protests have I felt so proud of my country.

For the record, Cliff, vast amounts of people voted to leave - from all political persuasions - a great many as a protest to the fact that all the main political parties are, and remain, pro EU and have thoroughly disenfranchised large portions of the country by their arrogance and elitism. And because the EU was an American project, the vote was also a big fuck off to US meddling too.
The right-wing in the Conservative Party can't actually take the credit for it. They were as surprised as everyone else who hadn't taken the temperature of the country's anger properly.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
