I just want to know why they keep using a heartbeat as some kind of special signal of life (hooray, a pump is working) when there's no real brain functions to speak of.

At what point is a fetus self aware anyway?

Jill Stein's "Green New Deal."

The Green New Deal is a four part program for moving America quickly out of crisis into a secure, sustainable future. Inspired by the New Deal programs that helped us out of the Great Depression of the 1930s, the Green New Deal will provide similar relief and create an economy that makes our communities sustainable, healthy and just.

Yes, those things would make the country a lot better. The problem is her economic policy would also make things still relatively sucktastic. Sure, we're not killing people overseas and not locking people in cages for ingesting a plant, but we're still robbing people for major league entitlement programs which will still lead to a massive debt crisis. Quite frankly, if she were the only third party candidate, that isn't good enough to get my vote.

Heard something on NPR this morning with people from other countries coming over here and going door to door asking people to vote for Obama. I think mostly because they're scared of Romney. Nice to know that if this country goes down the drains, the rest of the world is a bit more sane.

yes, it will, but not near as much as removing all the "regulations", or the bullshit around education, agriculture, healthcare, and so on.

finally, can the current Government just fuck off and disband itself? I've always wondered that.
