Russell: wise words with one flaw: the US doesnot CHOOSE, people are 'trapped into' especially now that ANY group can spend ANY sum to influence a choosing. People are susceptible to persuasion - (true or false ones) and the White House is fo sale. I participated over the past 80 years in many elections, before 1970 in Hungary (pre-nazi, nazi, commi) then in the US (capialistic aristo-democratic, whatever) and appreciate your words deeply. I wish you could ask for clearing the list from faith-related distractions as well (although there is a lot of 'faith' called scientific idea) - except of cours those that I harbor <G>.
