Well, I don't want to respond to each of these points in turn because that would remind me too much of the other board except with your point on stem cell research which i agree with you on ( not to mention cloning). I have my opinion of the situation and you have yours- I think Kerry will win in November and then we will have to see how the country comes out of it, because a lot of your points will carry over or would have happened under Kerry too. I am becoming increasing isolationist in my views on world politics and do not want to see our troops used except to defend the USA and a few allies from attack or imminent attack. I think Kerry will be indecisive in the war on terror like Clinton was. I also think Kerry will make the USA subserviant to the EU and UN trying to curry favor and win back "friends". We will get dragged into other conflicts that we will complain about too (if our memories are long enough) and all of our taxes will be raised. As far as censorship issues are concerned you might be right - he might ease up on them but then again he might put some one in AG that could be worse for porn and regardless in 3 years when he is campaiging again for re election he too will raise morality issues just like Bush did. This is why I am voting for Bush the devil I know, flaws and all still seems better to me than the devil i don't.
