All well thought out and intellectual arguments... however we are talking about the American public here.
Or as Stephen Hawking explains it:
A well-known scientist once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: "You're very clever, young man, very clever," said the old lady. "But it's turtles all the way down!"
... or as Canadian folk singer Eileen McGann succinctly put it to song: "We're just too stupid for Democracy".
Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.

Leaving now, @8:23 AM, Boston, to vote.
GOBama! GO Elizabeth!
Voted last week. If I thought I could get away with it, I'd vote again. ;)
This election has been so silly, it might as well be decided on whether or not Big Bird gets to keep his job.

I think this post should be titled "Vote, unless it's for Romney"
SK: Warren wins -- congratulations Massachusetts!
LP: No worries, we're winning fair and square.
Anon: If that issue brings in a few votes, fine with me.
SWA: We shall see, we shall see. So far the American public is kicking the Republicans in the nuts all over the country.
Grundy: That or "Republicans Schmepublicans".
275 to 203 at this moment... I have never been so Happy to have been WRONG!!
Congratulations, Infidel, and all your readers. Now all we have to worry about is how the nut-case Conservatives will react.
RtS: Thanks, and I've seldom been so happy to be right! As for the wingnuts, I'm keeping a close eye on their sites.....
