I just got back from voting. I was in and out in 5 minutes and half the time I was explaining the voting card to my wife. In '04 there were only 4 election booths and I was in line for 45 minutes. This time around there was atleast 25 election booths, and no line at all. Definite improvement.

Where are you from?

Already this morning there is a lot of reporting on the 'broken' election system and how people are waiting for hours to cast their votes. But I'm happy to hear that it's not a constant =]

Holy fuck, that article Savio posted is an insult to even the basest of intelligence.

Shit like:



How is that even relevant? Neither John McCain nor Barack Obama are qualified to create the best response strategy.

The difference is fundamental in how these two will approach leadership. Obama will find he who is most qualified to formulate that response and have him on his staff. He will listen to him, deliberately and methodically, and with the help of his advisers formulate the best plan. This is how he works - by realizing he doesn't have all of the answers and listening to those who might. War time is not a time for knee-jerk reactions. It's a time for careful deliberation and detailed planning. It's a time to be thoughtful, not a time to be mavericky.

This entire article is bullshit.

It's worse than that. I don't mean to criticize any military people that visit TL, but from my experience and from what I've read, Air Force people (all AFs) are actually somewhat disconnected from the rigors of battle and actually have much less of an understanding of what it means to throw men into harm's way than their Army or Navy counterparts do. They dehumanize much more than the other two and you're not going to find any pilots sleeping in ranger graves.

Civilians aren't great judges either, but I think the total world population would probably be a few billion less if we soley followed air force strategy.
