the commander in chief...
We in Australia, hear a lot about which U.S. Presidential Candidate would make the better Commander In Chief Of the Armed Forces in this current election campaign.
My question is this: Why do you brain-dead Yanks even entertain the no-brainer that a sleazy, megalomanic politician should be allowed to become Commander In Chief Of your Armed Forces?
Think about it, Yanks. (that's if Yanks can actually think...)

Ok, Jeff. That reference to brain-dead Yanks was not aimed at you personally. And your point about why the C in C should be the President is also a good one. But... Obviously there need to be more checks and balances.
I'm still pissed off that America is allowed to have such unfettered power in the world. I'm pissed off about how America deliberately undermined the UN (and thereby International Law) for the last fifty years.
I feel like you guys (nothing personal, Jeff) are trashing my planet. And I'm not happy about it.
Jeff, it seems to me that your news services and your eductaion system are two key areas where revolution is called for. America has become a mere shell of what it once stood for. I still blame Big Business and Big Religion as the two main causes.
If it can't be fixed, are we looking at the final obscenities committed by a dying Pax Americana?
Is America capable of fixing its own problems?
Or must the rest of the world learn to sideline America and get on with shaping a world which ignores America because it has gone nuts?
Well, jeff, here in Australia, it's election day tomorrow. I'll be campaigning against The Rat who sold us out to George Bush. I'll be handing out how-to-vote cards for his opponent. It's a sort of therapy for my troubled mind.. :-)
Good luck from Britain to both you guys. Our elections are further off so we are stuck with the appalling, lying, hypocritical, sanctimonious Blair for a while yet.
And, unlike you, the alternatives we will have are equally unattractive.
Sadly, The Rat got returned with a more than 2% swing in his favour. My depression has kicked in with a vengeance so don't look for any posts for a while.
Me too.
Well I have...
