Poor Kossacks must think they have a pack of lunatics traveling in this Ship of Fools.
Either that, or you're wetting your pants laughing....wait when some of you comes back from this "Democracy and Morality" convention with your fellow quakers.
Some good news from across the Atlantic after the jump. Only ...its not 'news' to the Bush administration.
'Lunatics' ban in Parliament may be lifted
LONDON, July 20 (UPI) -- British government officials say they are considering doing away with laws banning people labeled "idiots" and "lunatics" from running for Parliament.
Justice Minister Bridget Prentice plans to hold a meeting to discuss throwing out the laws after they prompted negative feedback from members of Parliament and mental health organizations, The Times of London reported Sunday.
The rules consider idiots as people "incapable of gaining reason" and lunatics as those "capable of periods of lucidity."
The laws prevent lunatics from standing for Parliament in "their non-lucid intervals." People listed under the Mental Health Act are not allowed to seek election, regardless of whether they recover.
Some mental health charity groups say the laws are unfair and should be scrapped.
"People who have suffered mental health problems can function at a very high level," said a spokesman for Mind, a mental health charity.
Let's have a mandatory mental health tests for current administrations. Just because they're not in the books yet doesn't mean they don't qualify...
A lunatic love poem:
Love!
I think
mosquitoes love me!
It will be foolish for
them to not love me!
