11.17.07Ruled by fearMy other title for this post was: He needs us. I just watched a Liberal party broadcast fronted by John Howard. He basically said that everything is a mess but we shouldn't change the government because the future is uncertain. I'd argue that its due to the certainty of John Howard and people like him that we are in this mess. Watch it and make your own mind up?
