Perhaps her 'mythology' doesn't have anything to do with it.  Some
people can be assholes with or without mythology.
I am certainly no expert on Palin or politics, but isn't she for opening
up the Reserves on the North Slope?  I'd bet she's also for offshore
drilling.  Everyone I've ever known who lived in Alaska was pretty self
sufficient and had a real gumption about them-a do it or die for real
attitude.  Perhaps that, instead of her 'mythology' will lower
increasing oil prices.


 Increasing national debit?

Debit,or debt?
Give ME a break.  No matter who is elected, our national debt will grow
because we can't stop consuming....



 Increasing balance of
> trade deficient.

See above.




 Collapsing economy?

No matter who is elected, things will be better in January; the economy
almost always upturns after an election/inauguration.  The housing
market waxes and wanes-it's waning now, but soon will wax again.  Global
warming will become global cooling, etc. etc.

Really, Don, I think you give too much power to the POTUS.  No matter
who is elected, they will be the puppet of higher
powers....lol...whether you are thinking about Palin talking to her God,
or Obama kissing Pelosi's ass...




Just because she will appoint judges
> that will use mythology instead of the law, that makes it all right.

Um, correct me if I am wrong, but has there ever been a judge that did
not believe in 'mythology'?  I am not a student of history, but I
believe all previous judges have had a belief in God, including those
'liberal' judges of years past, you know the Roe v. Wade guys, etc.
If I were a judge, I would be very insulted by your comment.  A
professional can separate his or her personal beliefs from their legal
duties under the constitution.   Remember too, that whoever is appointed
will have to be confirmed by mostly Democrats, i.e. liberals.

Yup, we weren't all blessed with your ability to live without
'crutches'.  We can't spend the time reading that you do because we are
punching a time clock or gardening or nurturing our families.

I don't know about Ray, but I don't accept it, just as I don't accept
Obama's string of lies.  All politicians lie.  Why does anyone accept
anything?

I think that was uncalled for, Don.  You should apologize to Ray and the
other Mormons on the list.

You have a right to believe anything you want.  Why do you seem to feel
the need to inflame a conversation by making jabs at others?  I suppose
you can say and write whatever you feel, but realize that no one has
attacked you or made any negative comment about atheism that I can
recall. I personally think you could be more polite-somewhere, I know,
there is a polite guy inside you.  Make Gene give you another beer and
chill.

You know, I had not looked at it that way.  I do have to disagree with you a 
bit, though.  I know McCain got a lot of favors and breaks because of his 
father and grandfather, but being in the Navy is hard-Annapolis is no picnic, 
and it's not easy to land on a carrier.  I know he crashed some planes and 
was a general screw up, but still.  Whether or not he was tortured, he DID 
spend 5 years in a North Vietnamese prison.  He may not have been a logger or 
worked in a mill, but I think we need to cut him *some* slack.  As for Obama, 
I think his teaching years-when he taught Constitutional law- count for an 
honest day's work.  Teaching is important-doesn't get your hands dirty, but 
it is important.   But yeah, I like the idea of having someone in the White 
House who actually got their hands dirty in a real job or an honest lifestyle.

A real homestead question!  Imagine that!
DH and I are having a discussion, trying to decide whether to split some wood 
now or wait until next year.  We have enough wood for 2008-2009 already split 
and seasoned and ready to burn, but we just got more wood for 2009-2010.  We 
got some hickory that is not split at all, medium to large logs, cut a few 
months ago, and we got some oak that we had to split to transport.  The oak 
tree was standing dead wood about 30 inches in diameter and we split it into 
4ths or 6ths, just enough to be able to pick it up and load it in the truck.  
So it is split, but not split to burning size.  So the hickory and the oak 
will need to be split again.  The question is, do we split it now, or do we 
wait?  Won't it get harder to split as it ages?
Akka

> >Do you feel that background is more critical than using a far-right
> religious agenda to select Supreme Court appointees?

Yes.  I am no more bothered by the prospects of a far-right Supreme court
than I am by a far-left one.  If there were the prospects of a 
Constitutionalist
or Libertarian Supreme Court, I might change my mind, but there isn't.

We've tried the right wing approach and also the left wing approach, then
we've tried a right winger who spends like a left winger.  None of it has made
much difference.  And isn't insanity basically doing the same thing over and
over but expecting a different result??

I think that a person who has had to get up in the cold wet winter morning
and go out to work else there's no money in the household is changed forever 
by
that.  Obama still thinks that there's some big mystical pie out there and it
just needs to be sliced up more equitably.  McCain still thinks that as long
as there are stocks and dividends abounding somewhere that mystically
translates into food and gasoline.  It is because, says I, neigher has ever 
faced the
prospect of going to work or having no money.

Obama thinks the fish on his dinner plate came about because there is a huge
stash of fish somewhere and he's just getting his fair share.  McCain thinks
the fish on his dinner plate came to be because there are blips on one of his
accounts somewhere.  But Palin has pulled that fish out of the ocean and knows
better, knows better on a base and gut level and I think this might, just
might, keep her from falling altogether for either of the above two fallacies.

I don't think it would really happen.  But it is the only real 'change' that
is in the offing.
