But if you cannot even step down after being elected without falling victim to a spanish-inquisition like process,
anybody can do so invoking personal unexpected problem. Do you know what was the spanish inquisition?
As Spanish, I don't like light references to it. Like saying some process was akin to it. The inquisition was a terrible thing that could result in death and torments. And anyway, the reference to Spain forgets that other religions and countries had similar processes.
Come on... It's not a reference to Spain. It's a reference to Monty Python. Try to google for "Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition" before you go on with rants like this. There is even a Wikipedia page about it...
Sorry, but for any Spanish it is a sensitive issue and we don't see the humour in it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.0 x86_64 (Minas Tirith))
