The facts are that : KERRY is a admitted WAR CRIMINAL, and comitted ATTROCITIES and Bush is crack smoker and was AWOL from assignment. Has he admitted to it ?? Kerry DID (see the NEW SOLDIER, authored by Kerry, Himself!!) Just what makes either suitable? Because they are not the other? 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC But, also, then JUST WHAT GAVE US THE RIGHT TO DECLARE WAR ON ENGLAND, so as to found our own independance?? Is George Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, ect. to be considered criminals, or heros? Is Ho-Chi Minh a Hero? Castro? Stalin? Guess it depends on just WHO views history, and from what viewpoint! NN7K -- To reply, remove the NOSPAM |

Seriously, fellows, you can get it out of your system just by voting on Tuesday. 73, Tom Donaly, KA6RUH |

I got myself involved, been working 70 hour weeks for a month, helped register 2800 voters, and collected about 100 ballots BEFORE November 2nd. And then there is Poll Watching to be done ON the 2nd. Come what may - either way - it isn't what is going to happen on the 2nd that counts, it is going to be what happens every day AFTER Tuesday for very many years. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

Why can't you Mercans realise you only have ONE ballot for the president. And it can't be 'cast', it can only be held. Unfortunately, the interchangeability of 'ballot' and 'vote' has now entered BBC English. We Limeys have a lot the thank Uncle Sam for, but not, sadly, your despoilation of our language (and your present President, of course). Sorry, I just HAD to complain. Cheers, Ian. -- |

Unfortunately, the interchangeability of 'ballot' and 'vote' has now entered BBC English. Hi Ian, According to my OED, Ballot has existed in the sense we all use it since 1549. I can't imagine which "Mericans" you could blame then. The notion of not being cast is foreign given the word Ballot derives from Ball, and if anything, for it to work as a secret vote (the meaning of Ballot according to the OED) it had to be placed into a Ballot Box (and having had stood next to one for these several weeks makes me a Balloteer) about as remote to being held as any. Others may appreciate that this all devolves to the idiom "Black Ball." That is, the Ballot indicated if you voted For or Against and you held it hidden in your hand and deposited it unseen by others into the pool of other Ballots which were then reckoned after the completion of the process. If the majority were black, the candidate was defeated. Anyway, back to my Ballotist activities. I've got more Ballots to collect. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

I don't think a different president will change foreign policy much, though. Once a nation gets as mighty as ours, it seems to get power-drunk therefrom and blows all its resources on controlling the world. The next four years should be interesting, but painful, no matter who controls the White House. 73, Tom Donaly, KA6RUH |

We live in a decadent society that has lost all proportion of integrity, commitment, and service. When one party rails against a dope smoking president to offer us a crack smoking president; then you know their (plural) system has all the morality of Sodom. Well, I've finished my rounds for this cycle of registration/voting. It's time to move on to my next project in starting another non-profit (my buddies chuckle that I can now lose MORE money legally). 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

Around here, selfishness, unbridled acquisitiveness, social paranoia, and soul-deforming greed, are all considered to be the real manifestations of morality. I hope the American people will stop shooting each other in the back and learn to get along some day. 73, Tom Donaly, KA6RUH |

That institution , run by 3rd world DESPOTS, Was created by the United States, in San Francisco. Yeh, and also the League of Nations In fact the League of Nations was not created by the United States, and certainly not in San Francisco. Is George Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, ect. to be considered criminals They were - consult any British source of that era. Is Ho-Chi Minh Castro? Stalin? So were they - consult any American source of that era. As you offer, it is merely the source of the who builds the indictment. Curious point about this last bunch is that they all read and used the writings of Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin to achieve their goals. Ho Chi Minh modeled himself after Gandhi. Gandhi modeled himself after Thoreau ("Civil Disobedience"). Do you count Thoreau among the criminal element? Thoreau willingly embraced such a label. Was Gandhi a terrorist? Ask the Brits - then ask the Indians - then ask the Pakistanis - then ask the administration. :-) 3 out of 4 will give you a straight answer and the last will offer "It's hard work!." Absolutely none of the radical communists learned their craft from those bourgeois elitists Marx/Engels, they only peddled their DOA ideology. ALL of their success came from AMERICAN examples. ALL of their failure came from communism - plain and simple. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
