I don't want to trouble you Old Guy, but time is running short, and if I'm not going to be a blind fool and an idiot, I'm going to need more guidance.

Walk me through it from the top. I get this part--I jump to the obvious cynical conclusions about Kerry and Edwards and the "big greedy corporation" and the "medical liability lawyer." One question--why are these in quotes? Is the "big greedy corporation" a front for something even more sinister? Is a "medical liability lawyer" actually a terrorist? or the disguise Osama has assumed to hide from us?

Now, when it comes to Bush Cheney, the oil connections, the Bin Laden connections, the Haliburton--what am I doing here in terms of "knowing where he stands?" Suspending disbelief? Knowing intuitively that these are good men, who despite any slight vague appearance to the contrary have the country's interest at heart? Do I like oil better than ketchup? Consider ketchup worse than blood? How do I work it?

Can I pm you my e-mail so you can keep me filled in on who is arrogant, an asshole/trustworthy, and honourable, and who isn't, if I'm still too blind and dumb to figure it out myself? Come on Guy, these things are all clear and obvious to you. I still need your guidance.
