OT- the election

In my opinion the American voters made a "no decision" decision by
re-electing Bush. Voting for Kerry would mean there was going to change some
things.
This is IMO a normal reaction in a (more or less) crisis situation. Stay
with the things you know rather than take more risks.

Wasn't there a NASA credo "Better no decision than te wrong decision"?

That might work for NASA, but it's lousy for running a country.

Fortunately, in America you're entitled to your opinion, even when it's
clearly wrong.

And voting for Kerry would have increased the risks in a great many areas,
with little or no tangible benefits. The risk/benefits ratio is better in
the lottery.

So, when do we start the fund for Alec Baldwin's plane ticket?

Fortunately, in the United States, you're entitled to your opinion even when
it's wrong. To vote *requires* a decision be made. It's not possible to vote
without making a decision.

Which isn't the same thing as improving them.

I'm not in a crisis. The United States isn't in a crisis. Are you?

Since staying with Bush is even more risky, your whole premise falls apart.

I looked out the window and didn't see any sign of war.

The United States isn't at war. Our military is. The US would be at war when
it was necessary for civilians to make sacrifices and share the burden in
ways other than paying taxes. Have you seen any war bonds sold lately?

The US was at war in WW2. We haven't been at war since then.
