Well....here's what I think. - From: Wichita, KS (and why I support Obama)
1) If I understand his plan he will raise taxes for the rich by reducing the corporate loop-holes in the tax code. I don't think many regular citizens will be affected. His real goal is to reduce unnecessary gov't spending (war). 2) I'm in favor of increased government, as long as the government is responsible enough to spend wisely. i.e. I'm against leaving healthcare in the hands of greedy corporate leaders who aren't as concerned with the life of their employees as they are with their own retirement plan. 3) The president is only given as much power as they choose to accept, and if I remember right we do have checks and balances that without corporate lobbyists influence should restrict the president from doing anything the country isn't in favor of. 4) Shouldn't the President inspire? Shouldn't he or she be someone to look up to and project a strong image of our America to the rest of the world? I think that should be the most important quality we should look for in a leader. --Thanks for reading I appreciate your comments.

You seriously don't care about his policies?' His policies if successful will significantly raise taxes and increase the size of government. How much of your paycheck are you willing to part with? Read the Constitution and find out what the President of the United States is given the power to do. The President's job is not to inspire or send messages of hope and change around the world.

Footy Rules - From: St. Kilda and Australian politics
Hey Mason, I am definitely jealous and would give anything to switch places with you right now. Glad to hear you attended a footy game. I thought I would offer some clarification on the footy score. The ACTUAL score is the number listed on the bottom so the final score was a little closer 82-112. There are 2 ways to score in footy. A 6 pointer and a 1 pointer. There are 2 sets of goal posts (like the field goal posts in American football but starting from the ground with no crossbar). If you get the ball through the narrow posts, its worth 6 points. If it goes through the wide posts, it's worth 1. The top score numbers list how many 6 pointers and how many 1 pointers. So the visitors had 17 - 6 pointers and 10 - 1 pointers for a total score of 112. Hope that helps understand the game a bit more!

Well, it ain't no Little Rock... - From: 10 days and counting
Looks like fun. All I really hope is that you find Missy Higgins when you're down there and bring her back for me to marry. Seriously, have fun and thank for the ACL tickets. And remember, up with hope and down with dope 'cause you never get nowhere smokin' the pipe.
