The analysis on this page is also interesting. Just a good link if you want to be informed on what both canidates say they will do in the next 4 years.

You've gotta love George Soros, a billionaire financier with conscience...

As the Hungarian-born financier George Soros observed two years ago: ?In modern global capitalism, only Americans vote, Brazilians do not.?
What he meant was that when it comes to economic, military and other decisions, the US administration?s actions are likely to have as much impact on your country as those of your own government.

Good site - most of it reaffirms what I don't like about Bush and the administration.

In addition, Bush argues that [nuclear weapons research] will invigorate the minds of nuclear-weapons scientists and help them to respond more quickly to new threats. Such researchers have been consigned to maintaining the nation's stockpile of nearly 9,000 weapons since the end of the cold war.

Sounds like they're preparing to respond to the problem rather than trying to find a solution. :What: :What:

Agree. I don't really mind if certain things are held off for another 4 years though. Some things are more important right now. When the debate's actually roll around, I plan to reassess how I feel regarding this years elections. I wasn't planning to vote for either of these bastad's. Theres just so much to hate about both candidates.

Kinda makes you wonder what exactly do we need to be "invigorating" the minds of nuclear-weapons scientists for? I'd feel a little more comfortable if we maybe moved their minds to working on something a little more positive and relevant to the world we live in.
