Er ...

You're against gay-marriage, you're against the seperation of state/church ... or are you just against nuclear weapons proliferation? That was worded kind of strangely. Otherwise, it sounds like you ARE the far right ... or did you mean far left?

Seems pretty straightforward to me. He's against government-sponsored censorship and nuclear weapons proliferation (hence, "I'm against government-sponsored censorship and nuclear weapons proliferation..."), and he's pro gay-marriage and separation of church and state (hence, "...and pro gay-marriage and separation of church and state.").

Ah ... ok, because the ways it phrased, it moves from "I'm againt..." and then the pro- seemed to mean, those in *favor* of pro-gay marriages ... thanks for pointing that out TSN.

First, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to accuse you of something you're not.

The election was close because the majority of Americans are fat, rich, and happy, and wish to go on being fat, rich, and happy, and do not percieve any major differences between the two candidates that would affect that status. No candidate could campaign on a platform dedicated to saving the economy, for instance, because most Americans don't need the economy to be saved. There are no military concerns of high visibility. In other words, good times at home render the presidency rather superfluous. The candidates were forced to campaign on issues that either aren't very important to most of us, or that don't have short term solutions.

I never said or implied "those who are" in my statement.

TSN's evaluation is entirely accurate.

Syntax is everything.

Yes, and when I re-read the post after TSN posted I realized I'd interpreted it wrong, and I apologized.

See, I thought you meant anti-pro gay marriages ... you know, that whole fuss up in Vermont ... so thats where the confusion came from. Sorry again.

Well, it's not really that close. Nader's liberal, and it's quite obvious that if Nader wasn't in the race, Gore would've won without contest.

But it's quite interesting how Florida came out at a 300-vote flat difference.
