I used to say "Nu-q-lar" (thanks for the phonetics RRS) until sometime in 6th or 7th grade a teacher told me I was mispronouncing the word. Honestly, I dont expect somebody who said "strategery", "symbollogy", and "embetterment" to pick up on this new-fangled correct way to say Nuclear.
I agree with Regicidal that the Presidency indeed comes down to money. As far as it being for sale...I think thats a sticky argument to take up. I agree that media is one of the biggest elements of our elections, and that controlling media comes down to money. Let me just say though, I dont think that liberal media exists in America the way that some people think it does. I havent seen one headline about Sudan in the last month, and im here to say that a true liberal media outlet would find importance in that - as well as make it an issue in this election (to the best of their ability). Id have to say that ive found the most liberal media to be Public Radio. Generally Public Radio in America is the media outlet most internationally involved.
Ok, I have to stop. Some of that may not seem coherrant sorry. I like the stuff thats come out of this thread. Its been a long day, and there is a lot going on in my house right now...so ill be back tomorrow to try and clarify and keep the discussion up if there is any desire for it.
One final note however, I fundamentally disagree with you Kingsama - I dont see the logic in continually upgrading our Nuclear Weapons. Other weapons and systems yes, its logical. However, our current Nuclear Weapons are so incredibly powerful that I cant possibly understand why they need to be stronger...thats just me though man. I dont have a problem with you or anything, though im sure you wouldnt take it that way - im just saying, we disagree on that one aspect.
If it were up to me, we would get the majority of nations to disarm to the point that we have enough weapons to destroy the earth once...cause really...after that...whats the point? Ill acknowledge that we need some Nuclear Weapons to keep the MAD climate working...but even thats really tough for me.
