Further you could add in the fact that we no longer have diplomatic relations North Korea and that they've removed the IAEA cameras from their nuclear facilities and have publically claimed to have built a nuclear weapon. They also claim to have a missile capable of hitting the US. Then there's Iran. > Civil Liberties etc. ? Patriot Act. > So far the two are running neck and neck. It's interesting that you're equating trust in the President with who gets elected. Are you saying that if Mr. Kerry is elected, but Mr. Bush wins the popular vote, that Mr. Kerry will have 100% trust from the American people? It's interesting because it seems like people are losing trust in US institutions overall. I just saw a poll that said that 30% of likely voters don't think their vote will be counted. I think people distrust the Supreme Court more. I think people distrust the electoral college system. I think people distrust the Catholic church more these days. I guess I don't that whomever wins the election will immediately reverse those, but maybe I'm wrong. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=38 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:133457 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
