your views on the following:
1) Global warming/environmental issues
2) GM crops
3) Nuclear weapons
Have these issues played a part in which candidate you are voting for in November?

Moonsigns,
Those are all important issues that require our immediate attention. But I think the Iraq War, Terrorism and the Economy are such troublesome issues, that even important matter like those are at best of secondary import.
1) Global warming/environmental issues - will probably be the death of us all.
2) GM crops - if foks are starving, does it really matter whether the chicken's got a wing the size of those of a DC-10?
3) Nuclear weapons - there are SO MANY of them that no policy will really protect us. Because once ONE of them is fired, a 1,000 more will be released inside of a minute.
I don't think either candidate can remedy ANY of those because his hands will be over-wrought by Iraq, Al qaeda and the economy. |

Those first 2 items will not influence who I vote for. Whoever gets in will come up with some policy that looks good on paper. As for nuclear weapons, if everybody has them, then nobody will use them. |

I think the blatant INCOMPETENCE of Bush and his propaganda issues...is what will dictate most of our votes in November.
I'm BEYOND generic issues at this point.

I'm like everyone else. I think those are important issues but don't think any of them will be solved until the rampant power of the industrial/military/intelligence/financial/political complex is reined in--am I saying that then they will never be solved?
My vote will be mostly influenced by the incompetence and mendacity of the Bush Administration--does that mean that what I want is someone who will try to impose American Hegemony in a competent fashion?
I think that Bush has to go. He has run up a ruinous deficit and he proceeded to war on fallacious bases and he hasn't fired anybody who gave him advice, indicating that he will continue to do what he is doing unless he is turned out of office. |

I agree with Chris.
Somebody asked me this question recently and I thought it would be an interesting topic to explore.

ABM says: Playah! I am afraid that nothing short of a nuke war can "rein in" those foks. |
