There's nothing new about that. Historically, only a small percentage of the population voted -- a primary reason being that until the federal government got into the business of wealth transfer, the average person didn't have much personal interest in who was in charge of the federal government because the federal government wasn't trying to play mommy and daddy and rich uncle and demented step-sister all at the same time.
there hasn't been a choice of the "the best candidate" in some time. It's now more of a case of who's going to do the least damage. [ Kind of scary to think Dubya is the one that's doing the least damage. ]
If the Congress didn't spend so much time trying to buy the favor of some voters by stealing from others, and if the Presidents weren't constantly egging them on to continue, most people STILL wouldn't care who was elected, let alone ran for president.
It's not the Muslim that's going to take over our country so no need to worry about what size towel to wrap around your head. It's the religious far right.
Ask your friends over in London and Paris about that... neighborhoods where if you're not the right RELIGION will get you killed (regardless of what race you are). In the UK, they're called "no-go zones"

Uhhhh....yeah...riiiiight.
Actually, I think I would prefer the Muslim's to what's happening now.
I'll choose Quakers and Amish over the Muslims any day...

Thanks! :-) There is an extension for mozilla / thunderbird to add the required "reply to list" feature. It has been mentioned here sometime, but I don't remember exactly which one it is. Should be included in the distro, but I don't think it is.
