I am not the sharpest tool in the shed so I'll take that as a compliment that you would think I had many to share of any depth.


When Al Gore lost I wept. ( I really did ) and swore my head was going to stay under that perverbial pillow until 'you know who' is out of office.


I have nothing of substance to contribute that would make a lick of difference. Thanks tho!

Unfortunately, I'm more worried about 'duck and cover' than 'head under pillow'.

The US has now publicly embraced a policy of 'preemptive war'. If our rivals and enemies followed suit, then things could get very ugly. For years we've held onto weapons of mass destruction (nuclear, chemical, and biological) and convinced the world we could be trusted to do so by maintaining a defensive posture.

Now everything has changed, and maybe 1/3 of the US and almost noone in the world trusts the current the current administration in terms of honesty, competence, and restraint.

oh believe me. I am only trusting that the next administration is more sensitive to different ideologies than this one has been. Obviously preemtive striking dosn't work.


I am not sure how some people can keep smiling after knowing that this administration has destabilized the middle east.

I read this article yesterday. I thought I'd share it here.
The truth keeps eeking out but some refuse to believe what is right before their eyes.

Well, that would amount to Q.E.D.

I am not persuaded Al Gore's values would be aimed at keeping the Republic, and I hold similar views of his party's values, which is why I don't vote for Democrats.

I think the Republic dodged a bullet when Gore lost. I thought it then, and I think so now. We have a war to win, one that would have come regardless of which party was in the White House, and started by others as has been the case for the past hundred years, and the Democrats simply don't know how. Until the Democrats can show me they can win the war better than the Republicans can, they have nothing I'm interested in. Successful war is successful foreign policy, questions of its disadvantages and wastefulness aside.
