#2 When did the word "controversial" become a synonym of "democratically popular"?

#3 > Perhaps the most controversial part of the legislation, passed on Thursday, is that it permits "citizens groups" to mount patrols on the lookout for public order offences.

This is actually the idea behind the original police, before the state messed things up.

Search for "Peels nine principles of policing".

Thus the Night Watch. Real community organizing, not the fake Potemkin fronts created by Pols.

#5 So Italy is not courting the votes of illegal immigrants? They are actually protecting their borders?

Between 1986 and 1998, the Italian government held 4 amnesties, granting citizenship to about 700,000 people. But this did not solve the problem, it actually ended up attracting more migrants....Unfortunately, not only did these amnesties cost the government a lot of money, they made Italy's immigration policies appear lenient. This in turn has made even more foreigners want to move there, and since there is so much red tape involved with getting legal citizenship, many choose to enter the country illegally.

So much for the liberal dream of amnesty for illegals...

#6 "So much for the liberal dream of amnesty for illegals..."

I dunno, John - it sounds like exactly what the libruls dream of regarding illegals (with or without amnesty)....
