nice assessment, Jewel... sounds about right

let me be clear, I am neither Democrat or Republican
I believe the political process puts forth the 2nd and 3rd best candidates
Edwards was nowhere near as well connected, had little chance
Kerry inspires me little
he has some good positions, like on jobs
but even there, his stance will head toward protectionism
maybe some protectionist planks are wise, dunno, doubt it

I am certain that if Kerry wins, he will inherit a mess in Iraq and a mess in US Economy (as it deteriorates following the bubbles gas release)

the Europeans have such better ways in some respects
they dont have ridiculous lobbyist efforts strangling the capitals
they have runoff elections which would remove Nader
they have little dedication toward constant inflation
they are not big fat hogs
they dont drive SUV big fat hog cars
they dont blast marketing everywhere you turn
they dont push mortgage loans on you
if you are a poor debt risk, you cannot borrow money easily

we have an arrogant attitude in this country
why? I am unsure
because we are Americans !!!
well, I repeat why?
because we have a strong military !!!
might makes right
what if we have some wrong positions and cannot admit our errors effectively ?
that is where we are, both militarily and financially

nobody gets out easily in these two messes
