okay, I have read all that has been written.. it has taken me aback and some time as well. I think that everyone has a grasp of reality on this subject and most have posted nicely thought out responses. I am interested in what the "foreigners" have said about our situation here and to me that is the most interesting of all the posts. Now, my comments(briefly) Nader- a good bureaucrat.. boring person.. maybe asexual Gore- ditto except the last Bush- not even effective in Texas Buchanan- Not an option for humans.. My probable choice. Boring, competent, unexciting Nader.. but my vote will be for Gore. To have the shrub would be unacceptable.. this is of course in my humble opinion..
