Many of us saw Kuchinch (sp?) on CNN or somewhere or another, but although he seemed like a pretty smart guy, there is no way that the public, the press, or the gods would ever install him as a leader.

Tear up the status quo? That's a security blanket for most of us; we might open a hole here and there to get rid of some particular elements that we object to, but we don't want any part of tearing it up. The press mirrors us (the majority) and it is quite diverse.

I don't believe in being policeman to the world and it is obvious that Bush is a moron for trying, he has wasted a fortune and the lives of a lot of young people and got no forwarder; but that doesn't mean that we should back off into a corner. You've got to maintain your position vis-a-vis the other big guys or get shoved away from the feeding trough.
