Maybe you and your 3D cosmopolitan friends will find comfort in the arms of one another when/if the time comes to pick up arms and defend yourselves? My 3D cosmopolitan friends don't anticipate ever having to pick up arms. Keyword--nuisance. Their greatest perceived threat is from Bush. <g> Kerry would leave us with little choice. I have let all those suppositions go without comment because I didn't want to confuse the issue, my issue, that is, but it's really hard for ignorant me to understand why y'all are so sure Kerry would screw things up. His stated approach is almost identical to Bush's. In fact, there have been complaints from the Bush camp that he copied their approach. As a practical matter, there's little either bunch could do that's much different from what's happening now. We just have to play it out and everyone who's in thinking mode realizes that. It's just politics or fear mongering to claim otherwise. I got this email yesterday. I thought it was clever so I'll post it in the spirit of a little cosmopolitan contrast. How many members of the Bush Administration does it take to change a lightbulb? The Answer is TEN: 1. One to deny that a light bulb needs to be changed 2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed 3. One to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb 4. One to tell the nations of the world that they are either: "For changing the light bulb or for darkness" 5. One to give a billion dollar no-bid contract to Halliburton for the new light bulb 6. One to arrange a photograph of Bush, dressed as a janitor, standing on a stepladder under the banner "Light Bulb Change Accomplished" 7. One administration insider to resign and write a book documenting in detail how Bush was literally "in the dark" 8. One to viciously smear #7 9. One surrogate to campaign on TV and at rallies on how George Bush has had a strong light bulb-changing policy all along 10. And finally one to confuse Americans about the difference between screwing a light bulb and screwing the country
