Comparing Obama to Carter doesn't really make a lot sense to me.
Maybe its an age thing
One is a Southern communist, the other one is an urban communist.


Anyway, you're comparing apples and oranges: Obama will be a beacon

Where "disenfranchised" = "everyone who wants something that does not

He will try to lower the ocean level by joining with the rest of the

change. *
I hope he starts - if elected - by walking everywhere and eschewing
the use of all technology that is supposedly causing this imaginary

If I send out 2 bags of garbage each week, and Joe Schlebotnik, next
door, sends 60 bags of garbage each week, week after week, year after
year, I think it would be fair if he paid higher garbage taxes than I.

If one takes a look at the finite abilities of mother earth to give us
fossil fuels, and finite space to dump our garbage, those who use and
waste the most, should pay the most. I would have NO problem with the
adjustment of gasoline prices, dependent on whether it gets poured
into an average person's car or some fat-cat's gas-guzzling pleasure
boat.
Charge twice as much for health insurance from those who are smokers.
If you're going to screw with the machinery, you should pay for the
repairs. And that holds true on all levels.
And while we're at it, why keep paying for all those jails? Move them
into tents along that new railroad they need to be building for us. A
whole new web of railroads. High speed and sturdy branch lines.
Electrified with well-placed nukes. Get them damned trucks off the
