I'm actually going to vote this yearFollow

It doesn't matter. There is a smattering of people who say things like this almost every election. I've yet to see anyone actually act on it.

Shush. I like destroying hope before it can truly go anywhere.

If I had lots of money I would have moved in 2004 when Bush was re-elected. I did look into emigrating to Canada then and I figured that I could do it. The requirements may have changed but from what I understood I could live on a work visa for a few years and then apply for citizenship? I haven't looked at it recently. I do have a degree and good work experience.

New Zealand and other European countries look swell.

If McCain wins I think at this point it would be very obvious it was a stolen election. This wouldn't be the first time. With the unconstitutional power grab of civil liberties and the radical agenda of both McCain and Palin, we would be one major disaster away from police state, 1984. There are bills being debated before Congress right now that give federal authorities the right to spy on citizens and use the evidence to prosecute domestic cases without a warrant from a judge and without speculation that they are involved in terrorism. On top of that the President now has a right to declare something a disaster and enforce martial law, and they have the forces already prepared to act in case this happens (Northcom). Right now we are building huge detainment camps in the desert and there has not been a clear explanation why.

So, a police state with either a malleable and senile old man caving to special interests and bullying, or a religious fanatic who thinks the end of the world is on the horizon and thinks that 'perhaps' we need to go to war with Russia. No thanks.

I answered his question quite seriously. Others did as well.

Persecution isn't a pretty color on you.

More of a nanny state.

An over protective nanny. Sure, you can do whatever you want, but you need to wear a helmet, and knee pads, and elbow pads. Don't forget the training wheels. Oh and don't go down hills.

I, for one, think America needs a strong leader. Someone who'll make the country great again. Someone who's not afraid to cancel foreign debt or eliminate enemies with military force. Someone who will act to rid the country of undesirable elements. Someone to stand up and declare "I AM THE FUHRER".

Vote John McCain '08.

no. We just hand them over to people who do. Wash our hands and be done with it.

Move to the West. All the winds across NA flow north east and there's nothing in British Columbia worth nuking.

I got in trouble for telling a teacher that ducking and covering was just stupid. To be fair, we'd just seen a film including shots of Hiroshima in the aftermath. "Duck and cover" looked pretty friggin' lame.

They have those in lots of places, like where I grew up, we had one in school with the same sign. We were near one of the biggest targets, esp. if you believed Wargames, in the event of nuclear war. There used to be that idea that if you were within 30 miles of a nuclear blast, you'd vaporize instantly. I remember wishing I lived closer to the airbase.

See? We ship them elsewhere.

I think I'm actually going to vote this year, too. i filled out my voter registration (thanks to Joph and the link in his sig) and got my voter registration card the other day. I just don't know how to go about actually voting...do you go into one of those shower-stall booths and pull the lever on the big machine? Like a slot machine? That's all I remember from our elementary school pseudo-voting experience.
