Thread Name: BS: Bush-Kerry: Beyond the Personal Attacks
Subject: RE: BS: Bush-Kerry: Beyond the Personal Attacks
A few answers:

No to ten commandments in schools.

No to thinking we were deceived about the seriousness of the Iraq situation.

Yes to more way more alternative (hardly can be called alternative anymore, some of them) fuels, with emphasisis on small household systems.

Yes to better sewage and garbage systems (although you didn't ask), with some research into using them for the alternative fuels.

Yes to tax advantages to create jobs, employ underpriviledged people.

Yes to consensus if possible, but if not must be eternally vigilant and prepared to go it alone.

The mental state of the current and the possible president are entirely relevant and especially in wartime we should be assured of their mental stability.

Yes to Bill of Rights infringement necessary for increased security and yes it does strike at the heart of our freedom and way of life.

Yes to tax cuts benefitting some people..those who got jobs as a result, those who got houses because of lower interest rates. Some would have preferred more direct assistance. Has to be a balance between not killing the goose that laid the golden egg and providing for the needy (who should have in a sense a contractual relationship with those providing them necessities of life..i.e., they should not use drugs, engage in violence or abusive behaviors, break the law, damage public housing, insure that their children stay in school, etc. And I am not blaming the victim here, I am saying firmly that things could be improved in some social areas.)
