I think that would alienate obama's base, chris. hopefully obama realizes that
research and development is essential to solving the problems created by
technology.
carter was a forward thinker in many ways but his well intended decision to
give medical asylum to the shah has been said to have led to the hostage
crisis. I believe Jerry Brown would have been a better president, but he
entered the race too late in 76.
