 I'm currently (re)reading "Against a Dark Background" by ain M Banks. It concerns (among other things) the world of Golter, where all government has either broken down or proved inneffectual and a "World Court" has stepped in to take the reins. Lawyers running the entire planet...
 
 Everyone go out and read this book. It's great.

 Agreed, a fine book. Although the protagonist isn't exactly lovable or ethical either.
"Consider Philebas" was another fine work by Banks. A true tragedy, which I will admit, I like.
WELL, I voted, (for Kerry, and the rest a straight Libertarian slate), before work. Did you vote yet?
NO? Then get your butt out there and vote!~ This is 
important.
