Do we really want someone who does not use a computer to be in office during a time that the Internet is such a hige and growing part of the global economy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYs8X0DZNI4&eurl=http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/06/mccain-reps-com.html Mccain is also dangerous because of his complete lack of understanding of the continually accelerating effect of technology.

Thanks. As much as I appreciate that, I'm still getting over being absolutely floored by your compliment of Sun Tzu's lesson with lyrics from the Who's Pete Townshend. ("Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.") That is truly Art. Let's hope that by drawing upon every lesson we can muster, that "We don't get fooled again."

Example: "stay the course" translates roughly to "let bodies pile up endlessly rather than admit a mistake, then, after eventually leaving office, let your successor take the responsibility for the clean up -- and when that doesn't go smoothly hide in the shadows while every one blames the wrong person." Bush is a simple man. "Stay the course" just rolls off the tongue so much easier. It's a phrase that sounds important, poetic, patriotic & strong -- when really it means none of those things. We are already essentially bankrupt. Our economy is an illusion. China owns our collective ass. In McCain's recent financial disclosure it was revealed that he owes hundreds of thousands in credit card debt. How it's even possible for a millionaire to owe so much is not clear, but it shows that he has the training and ability to make a smooth transition into the idiotic and malicious mode of operation that Bush has so laboriously set up. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. We really need to band together and prevent this shit from continuing. These are not even republicans. Republicans are at least fiscally conservative. These are war mongering lunatics. These are sociopathic teenagers with Visa cards and no concept of personal responsibility. What we have here is an administration based on euphemisms.
