Indeed, the vox populi on the BBC list is getting more diverse too. Below is the "vox" that I contributed:
"Anyone who believes that $50,000 plus pension is too much for a NYC worker with considerable responsibility, but does not mind seven digits handouts to speculators accountable to noone needs to have his head examined. Anyone claiming that the US is not a "socialist" nation needs to realize that US is not a nation at all, socialist or otherwise, but a club of billionaires with no national loyalty supported by the multinational work force toiling for pennies."
