And that McCain is remotely close to Obama in the polls, I can't get my head around that.<BR/><BR/>And as to what will happen if McCain does get in...well, for the international community, Afghanistan, Iraq, Russia...not too positive, I'd think. For Canada it's so great. Our resources are being taken out from under us, the Republican government in cahoots with the Canadian Conservatives. With the deveopment of the Tar Sands in Alberta and all of the environmental and economical implications...I shudder to think. Plus the Alaskan pipeline? With Palin in there wouldn't be a question. It'd be our country they'd be digging through though and I'm afraid most of Canada is sleeping.<BR/><BR/>Oh, so much to write. So much to say. Always provocative.

Birds of a feather comes to mind...<BR/><BR/>The absurd notion that Palin represents anything remotely feminist is like something out of Kafka or Lewis Carroll. <BR/><BR/>I differ on whether McCain realizes what he has gotten himself into because I've noticed him drooling onto his tie as he says "I can't wait to show this woman to Washington." She is his new trophy (running) mate. <BR/><BR/>I have supported Obama from the beginning, partly because of him and partly because I dislike Hillary Clinton. But I have to say, Sarah Palin makes Hillary look pretty good. I can't imagine how painful it must be for her to see this lightweight, inexperienced self-righteous strident bully closer to the Presidency than she is despite her many years of trying. It's certainly not relevant here, just a mildly interesting thought.heartinsanfranciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34955137.post-17126320083443725672008-09-17T12:22:00.000-07:002008-09-17T12:22:00.000-07:00Chani, this is a thought provoking post.

How often can a people be sidestepped before they give up? I'm increasing worried that the megacorps have so much control now that we will never get our country back again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34955137.post-21235200150051103232008-09-17T11:15:00.000-07:002008-09-17T11:15:00.000-07:00Shalom, I came to you via FrannyGirl.

I absolutely love what you wrote about Palin declaring herself a feminist and how wretched that notion is.<BR/><BR/>This quote is so brilliant: "I believe any country is only as civilized as the way it treats all its citizens." <BR/><BR/>I will be linking to your post, to be sure and blogging it.
