George "White Nostrils" Bush did a good job kissing the asses of the fundamentalist group, the Christian Coalition. He seems to run with the tide. George "Stick it up the Nose" Bush basically came out against abortion. George "Things go better with Coke" Bush is anti abortion and anti choice. Looks like Bradley, the next President of the U.S., who is totally Pro-Choice, should win against Bush, as people learn more and more about Bush. It's very important that a liberal or moderate appoints the next Supreme Court justices, and fills the empty Federal Court Justice seats. Go Bradley!

Clinton is no saint, but he is a skilled politician and leader. Do we want to replace Clinton with someone, with little experience, who is riding the coattails of his dad? We've had someone in the White House who was criticized for "not inhaling". Do we want someone in the White House who "did inhale"!? At least we have a good choice now, Bill Bradley. The Bradley snowball is cascading down the hill and picking up steam. Either join the Bradley campaign or get out of the way! Bradley for President in 2000!

Zoltan, I'll address your 'comparative advantage' craze later.... I just stumbled on quite an interesting US mag: The American Prospect, September-October 1999 Captive Labor: America's Prisoners as Corporate Workforce Gordon Lafer When most of us think of convicts at work, we picture them banging out license plates or digging ditches. Those images, however, are now far too limited to encompass the great range of jobs that America's prison workforce is performing. If you book a flight on TWA, you'll likely be talking to a prisoner at a California correctional facility that the airline uses for its reservations service. Microsoft has used Washington State prisoners to pack and ship Windows software. AT&T has used prisoners for telemarketing; Honda, for manufacturing parts; and even Toys 'R' Us, for cleaning and stocking shelves for the next day's customers. [...] epn.org This is really amazing, isn't it? Soon, the best way to land oneself a fine job with a first-class, high-tech US company will be to e-mail them your CRIMINAL RECORD --LOL! You wanna program in XML or in Arabica++ with the fastest growing pizza e-delivery outfit? Fine! Just go for a first-degree murder in your neighborhood --with any luck, the jury will sentence you to a 10-years time (read: to a 10-year contract with an IT-subcontractor as a convict teleworker). But hey, watch it: you might get your pink slip after 5 years as you get released for good conduct! Hence my tip: just keep getting your yardbull's goat and you may get eligible for a little extra time....
