Air travel safety is achieved by the analysis of crashes, which illustrate
unintended design and operation defects. Economic policy matures by similar
means. Aircraft designed for total safety will not fly. Commerce free of
risk and greed will not function. The finger of greed points in every
direction. From primitive barter to electronic commerce we must always seek
a balance, making on-course corrections. Neither Democrats nor Republicans
are immune. Both have lavish parties at their conventions, adroitly
conforming to "reforms" passed by Congress.

Unfortunately, the personal qualities of the candidates or their
religious views are not important to our basic living standards. Bush
was chosen on the basis of such criteria and look what happened. If
the people who vote on the basis of religious values do not start
looking at the deeper issues, this country will continue to go down
hill. The bad things that are happening now are not accidental and the
“liberals” and the democrats have not caused them. They are caused by
the basic philosophy of the present leaders. This attitude needs to
be changed. McCain and Palin, although nice and sincere people, share
these attitudes toward government. The attitude that has caused the
trouble is the belief that the free enterprise system, if allowed to
work without oversight, will produce the best result. The fact is that
certain people in free enterprise system will try to take every
advantage they can get at the expense of other people unless the
system is regulated by rules that prevent such action. The most recent
example is how the mortgage industry was corrupted by greed and self-
interest. The Bush administration encouraged this action because
everyone was appearing to get rich. It was obvious to any rational
person that this could not continue, which was correct.
Unfortunately, this was only one of many big and small disasters
caused by their hands-off approach. This approach has failed. The
ordinary citizen is loosing while the few are getting very rich. This
is not what the founding fathers wanted. Obama may be inexperienced,
but he sees the problem and has proposed solutions. This is more than
be said for McCain et al.

Hi,
[snip]
I wonder how many people turned McCain down before Gov. Palin's name
came up? The ship is sinking with all aboard.
It was a horse race before. I saw my friend switch from being decided for
Obama,
to giving McCain a second look when I told her about Governor Pailin.

Actually I thought it was a very shrewd choice. By choosing a woman he
improves
his chances of capturing the disaffected Hillary supporters.
According to the pole results I heard, 20 - 30% of the Hillary voters
were
leaning to supporting McCain.
Frankly, I have a higher opinion of the female voter. Only the most
Bill. What does Palin have other than the right sex?
Governor Pailin is the sort of leader that the Founding Father's had in
mind. A
person has a life (a business or profession) which they leave temporarily
to
lead the government. She has solid prolife credentials, and a
demonstrated
passion to root out governmental corruption and waste. President Bush has
presided over a kleptoracy worthy of a third world dictatorship. Between
John
McCain's fiscal conservatism, and Sarah Pailin, this situation can be
ameliorated.
As for the evolution matter, what we intelligent design advocates ask to
the
opportunity to present our case to students. To wit, the living cell is a
production facility. The definition of a P F, is that it takes that with
you
have, and changes it into that which you need or desire. In addition, it
is
self correcting. IMHO, both of these functions defy entropy. The appeals
court
decision in this matter needs legislative correction.
Then there is the Fairness Doctrine, this Orwellian piece of legislation
would
destroy one of our rallying centers, talk radio.
The radical left has taken control of the Democratic Party, IMHO, what
you are
witnessing is a repeat of 1972.
