>Hi Walter, thanks for the honest answers. It appears that Bush may win again, but surprisingly, polls (probably all wrong anyway) show that he is winning due to morality issues and not the war or the economy. Very intersting. Personally, I have no problem with gay marriage - it takes no rights away from me and does not affect me in anyway. I have no problem with stem cell research and I believe abortion is an issue between a woman and her God. That could start an active debate I'm sure.

You and I definitely need to start our own party <g> I'm not sorry to see the election go the way it did, but I am very dismayed that the 11 state propositions making gay marriage virtually impossible passed and that that issue may have contributed greatly to the turnout that benefited the president. And here in Ohio, Proposition 1 was even more intolerant, outlawing civil unions - which even the Presdident was willing to support - as well. I have so much more in common with the majority of Kerry voters ( except the ones who don't spit on the ground at the mention of Michael Moore's name ) and if the Dems had run somebody like Joe Biden or Joe Lieberman I could have probably been convinced. Oh well, you take the crunchy with the smooth.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
