Hi X, We voted Dems and Greens.. At least we have a few Greens on the ballot, so we have to give them support, looking to the future. Sununu won, I guess, I can't freakin believe it, What a dolt like his old man.. I don't know what to make of things.. People are so self-centered, a good example is here on this thread. A person could not even discuss the election, IMO, based upon my experience here. A person would be drowned out by the "partisian rhetoric" taking sides because of A long-running NON-ISSUE POS feud.... A phony role playing game that doesn't mean shit except to keep the two main players in the limelight, which they BOTH basked in to the nth degree.. And the little "hanger-ons" mainly RWEs with nothing else to do and think about.. except this FAUX FIGHT on the intenet. But they suggested WITH ALL "seriousness" all sorts of remedies to keep THEIR NAMES out front too. I seen terms like, "tactical error".. "negotiations broke down" thinking they were solving the ME crisis.. I can't freakin believe people waste all this time and techo space and not work on REAL ISSUES.. And some do not even vote, as I understand.. JEEESUS KERIST.. G help us all.. c

I am still undecided. There are primal forces at work in human history which will affect humanity in huge and decisive ways. Humanity is still at the stage of "us versus them". Not my choice...but most of the world is at war...with either weapons, or something else. Force will eventually decide who survives (we are, at least, a hundred years from a common concept of humanity). So the question becomes: "Whose force will benefit you and your children? Because in a divided world...force does not benefit everyone... One of the most potentially devasting influences recently has been the election of a Muslim party to the Turkish military state. I suspect the military will overthrow them with (secret) US support fairly soon--(power is power). But Turkey really is a linchpin...
