<<Being cynical is an easy state of mind. Takes very little effort.>> Indeed. When one is intelligent. Rather, I should say, educated. Otherwise, it's another one of those 'black holes' in which emotional reactions to 'groping around in unknown' for some 'rational' peace-of-mind boil down to 'fight or flight.' The vacuum of ignorance. -g- bia

Michael, That is the first thoughtful question I have ever seen coming from you. Thanks. Re: Since you so strongly believe President Bush is too corrupt to lead America. Perhaps you could tell me who would be a better person? Let's start with your party. John McCain is vastly more honest a man than the present usurper. He is someone I might have felt comfortable voting for, his Keating indiscretion notwithstanding. I think he's matured quite nicely since the 1980's. Richard Lugar is a bona fide leader, with impeccable credentials in the realm of foreign affairs. Something that the Shrub desperately lacks. Dubya's chest beating, saber rattling bravado in his State of the Enron speech was abhorrent to thinking people throughout the world. He comes across like a frat boy who never grew up, refusing to accept the absolute necessity of diplomatic finesse in the modern world. Besides which, his bullying of Iran and North Korea is evil, because it is so dishonest. And it's just plain dumb, because it is counterproductive to peaceful co-existence. Unless Bush is really as evil as I fear, and wants to aggrandize his power by putting us on a permanent war footing in a time of peace. That is evil. Period. Senator George Allen, while not my top pick for the job, shows good leadership qualities and IMHO would be less destructive of democracy and American communities than the present occupant. I won't bore you with my views on the other side of the aisle. You wouldn't care anyway, I suspect. -Ray
