nah, I'm not in Berkeley, I'm in Silicon Valley. This town had a love affair with Bill Clinton and it wasn't due to fraud or anything... I'm thinking of early 90s even. Clinton came out here every week it seemed. He seemed genuinely interested in the industry and jobs.

Its something of a dichotomy that politicians face (both parties) where the "new economy" leaders are not necessarily to follow in lockstep with every tax cut that comes along. This one (bush's plan), in fact, penalizes growth companies because it makes investing in dividend paying companies more favorable. These are the slow growers. Another tax cut which the technology industry opposes is the proposition 13 freezing of property taxes. Thats a rate cut for a lot of people, but not for the young companies or young people in Ca who work for them.

Are you forgetting Chicago?

Re: see you are in Berkeley, one of the few towns that makes it's own Foreign Policy.

Well over 90 cities across the U.S. voted on resolutions in opposition to the Iraq aggression.

If we had a democracy in the U.S., we never would have committed this war crime.

We have criminals in charge, installed in a coup d'etat.

The only way Bush wins anything in 2004 is to do what he did in 2000. Steal the election.
