Spike, your point concerning Ted Kennedy being elected
senator even after he was involved in manslaughter is
relevant and was anticipated; yet you know Ted is a
Kennedy and in Mass. Kennedys get a pass, though there
is no good reason he should be excused. However there
are many books about Hillary and Ted, but Laura Bush
breaks a young guys neck in a car accident and there
wasn't even an investigation of any sort? If you or I
did such a thing we'd be in serious trouble, even if
we were teenagers. Of course its all extremely minor
to voting in this election, but when I vote I look at
what a candidate represents: it seems Bush and his
family represent death. Death in Iraq, death on a
Texas road, and at the debate with Gore four years
ago, Bush's eyes lit up when he spoke of executions,
"we're going to fry those guys!", he proclaimed. Most
of all, Bush speaks of innocent microscopic life
needing protection. So what is the hidden moral? That
the world is overpopulating, so microscopic life is
more valuable than large, space occupying humans?
