(This constitutes, I'll grant, a bias. But there you have it.)

What would make sense in this world?

Would you take money, borrow multiples more than you have in your budget to put it into something that is only going to remove treasures of antiquity, a large proportion of a generation of your population, committed funds for historical, ongoing programs in your country (not to mention the inflational nature of needs as population increases and economies sour), the bodily and psychic health and fitness of a large proportion of your workforce and families (and so your communities), the faith and trust of a people that their elected government is looking out for them, multiply this times 2 for the country you are invading, and take all of that and heave it into the toilet?

Would you deny and obfuscate about a massive change, a 'sea change' in the availability of resources and effects of the way you do business? (Yeah- Climate Change, Global Warming, Envirnomental Degradation, Increasing scarcity of raw materials INCLUDING certain metals crucial to computer components manufactured as we have come to know them today)

Would you deny and ignore the effects of what you do on your workforce?

Would you not look to see how distribution of employment opportunities affects the various locations of your business?

Might you not consider working cooperatively with the various teams within your business to come up with solutions that make things work for all of you?

Would you consider defining a business or an entity of concern as a conference of individuals or concerns who/that share the same resources?

Where is the glass sphere that keeps 'our' air, water, soil (landfall of rain and airborne particulates, historical use of pesticides, etc.) separate?

This probably seems radical re: the status quo. But, well, if it's a choice of how we do well v. how we do badly, well…

Maybe our leadership needs are big this year.

Someone who understands our constitution as well as our need to cooperate with the other concerrns in our large and yet small business association.

Someone who 'gets' the economic system, is able to ally with intelligent, people with education and heart. Someone who isn't afraid to ask questions or to talk to people who do.

Someone who is willing to articulate to us and address the questions the media bring up. It would be nice if everyone appreciated our good points, but when we run for President, we ought to answer the questions that are raised about us.

And the public–we do better to read widely and develop our antennae for truth.

That's because McCain says so many stupid things. He also is old, a little dillusional (see Sarah Palin being picked as VP), and Racist (see 'That One'). Someone has to teach him a lesson.

Why is it that every time a blogger here comments on third party candidates, they always mock them even though many of them are much better choices than Obama or McCain?

I know. It's almost like it's some sort of unserious comedy blog or something. They don't even treat McCain and Obama with much respect, if you ask me. Just wise cracks. Who needs that?
