OT Republican End Game
http://www.nybooks.com/articles/17852 A _Newsweek_ poll found that 36% of Americans believe the Book of Revelations is "true prophecy" and 25% believe 9/11 was predicted by the Bible. These people are ignorant, they're dangerous and they vote Republican. But look on the bright side, if what the "Rapture" kooks believe is true all the "saved" people will be swept off the earth real soon now and the rest of us will have plagues, locusts and frogs. Sounds like a fair trade to me. -- Ken Fortenberry |

However, that having been said: "Your one vote has the same power to affect the results whether you vote for a major or minor candidate, but a vote for the candidate you respect and agree with gives you the expectation of a better outcome. If you are like me and do take the time and effort to vote, you should put your X beside the candidate you think will be the best president, not the one most likely to beat the guy you dislike. The myth of the wasted third-party vote is just that – a myth. If there is a wasted vote, it is the one cast futilely against the candidate you dislike in an attempt to swing the national election." http://tinyurl.com/43zms http://tinyurl.com/5neu3 http://tinyurl.com/6fsm4 http://tinyurl.com/6zrf9 Mark |

Sounds like a fair trade to me. If I may ask, why do you bring this subject up? I read a particularly well written and frightening article in the current issue of _The New York Review of Books_ this morning and thought I would share it with the folks here. The main theme of the article, which you would know if you had bothered to read it, is that we are ****ting in our own nest and screwing our grandchildren. Isn't this a fly fishing group? New around here, aren't you ? -- Ken Fortenberry |

Hey - do you see us bitching about the "God smoteth his son for you" posts? ;-) |
