Cock tuesday.
I thought I got a Diablo 3 beta key yesterday but it was just a phishing attempt :(

I'd be happy just to get a phising attempt at the moment.
Do we know anyone on here other than our mutual friend who works for Blizzard.

Edit: There was a guy who gazzed me to help me out when my WoW account got hacked. I think it's pretty rude to ask for a beta key from him though, especially because the only time I've talked to him he was doing me a favour.

I tend to agree with the Churchill quote that it's the best of a bad lot, but a lot of people seem to think this makes it wonderful and a cure for all ills, when it really isn't, it's just a bit less shit than the alternatives tried to date.

This has the smell of 'its the opposite of dictatorship' all over it at the moment.

in it's strictest sense, commonly interpreted as majority rule. One could argue that few (possibly no) modern 'democracies' are actually this, but they do contain some element of it and some (possibly specious) aspiration towards it.
The fact that "democracy" is often not particularly democratic is another annoyance.

I will say that the majority is, if not always, often and notably wrong about all kinds of stuff, and the only reason I can think of that they should be allowed to run a country is that the alternative is worse, which it is.
I just don't think we should get all self congratulatory about it, like it's some kind of panacea for all the world ills.
