Oh yes we have had some lovely discussion forums in the last few years where ideas are brought forward and knocked by the government of the day, truly democracy in action

It has been my experience that no matter how well intentioned your actions may be, its not just government that may not agree with you, but your neighbor who is not convinced of your good ideas, because they think theirs are better. And can find the experts to back them up, LOL!
