signed up. (though not 'cause of my parents or my grandparents, all of whom are dead, but 'cause being elderly doesn't seem that far away sometimes. )

petitions change nothing. never have, never will. at best they get you a chance to stand outside number ten before some flunky files your efforts in the nearest bin.
on the plus side, they are a great way of assuaging your middle class guilt with minimum effort.
