Democracy

Polygamy

Monogamy

Polyandry

Or Whatever

Free markets

Planned economies

Multifaith harmony

A secular state

Whatever you please

Are sensible arrangements being made?

For the laundry to be done

The milk delivered

And the children raised

Do we have commonly aggreed rights and responsiblities

Or washing up rotas

That we can all reasonably accept

And work towards

Can we accept that our neighbours down the road take a different sacrement

Or listen to other bands

Or vote for another bunch of liars and spin doctors

Or support another team

Or teach their children another bunch of half truths

Or take them to a church in which they don't believe

In order to get them in a better school

If you can do all this

Then you are a well adapted member of a Liberal Democracy

For better or for worse...
