Nonsense. Why is Demorep so fond of Hitler & Stalin? We've heard
much repetition of that lack of "separation of powers" will corrupt.
Is that why the U.S. is so much less corrupt than the Parliamentary
PR democracies? :-)

Why should Parliament be corupt? Repeated assertion, with no justification.

And Don's statement that Russians say that Absolut vodka corrupts
absolutely must be based on a misbelief on Don's part that Absolut
is a Russian brand. Nope. Or maybe the reason why Russians say
that Absolut vodka corrupts absolutely is because it competes with
their own brand, Stolichnaya. :-)
