Anyway I always find those hey why are things like that in America when they're like this in other places articles interesting, but a bit off point. Nobody is voting for the president thinking about how it is in another country where it might be worse. I doubt many nations are all that different when they vote. I recall a bunch of articles about politicians in other nations trying to build campaigns on platforms including the states have gone nuts! and despite being right about that ... they found the locals still voted on local issues. Stuff is different in different places. Yup.
Not to dump that on your whole article. It was a good read. I just have that reaction anytime someone even touches that aspect of an argument.____
That said, I agree with it being a little off point.
Also, don't relax until McCain makes his veep selection. Romney is just as bad as, if not worse than, Giuliani with regards to `the terrorists are coming!' It's possible, albeit probably unlikely, that McCain could choose either.
