Re: Good
Good job, Ann, and nice back-and-forth by both.
Would have liked to hear more from Jeralyn about why women over 50 like Hillary so much. It's obvious to her (I think), but not to me.

Re: Obama vs. McCain
But, at pres. election time, the dems will have an unshakable 45% and so will the repubs. The battle will be over the remaining 10%, which I agree (at least from the perspective of today) could go...

And the implications of that AL Q shift for a smart US Middle East and Iraq policy are?

Re: Clinton vs. Obama
And who do we have brewing and bubbling in Afghanistan? The Sunni Arab Al Qs. How many more of them are in Afghanistan than in Iraq - 10:1, 50:1, more?
Who do have fighting in Iraq? The Shiites...

Re: Clinton vs. Obama
Plenty of meaning in the words, as long as you aren't deaf to them. I'm not talking about the rhetoric either. Though, that is pretty good too, sometimes great. Obama speaks much more adult than most...

Re: UN Plaza: The Pro-Pirate Lobby
Pisc: The "market" except Honda is moving too slowly. Why isn't a US company testing hydro cars as soon as Honda? Why is the US behind the curve in alternative energy in other respects? Are you...

Re: UN Plaza: The Pro-Pirate Lobby
Why is Honda the only car company that is large-scale testing hydrogen cars? How about some Washington pressure on US car-makers to get more in the game?
There are some local hydrogen station...

Re: UN Plaza: The Pro-Pirate Lobby
That's the problem and Bush isn't part of the solution. If he were really committed to hydrogen: 1) we'd hear him talking about it often, 2) he'd ask congress to put a 100B or more a year into...

We could easily work out the issues with hydrogen distribution within 20 years. And, don't dismiss the home hydrogen station. If the Honda tests that start this summer pan out well, I'll be among...

Re: UN Plaza: The Pro-Pirate Lobby
Too expensive at today's prices -yes. But, that could change quickly with the right federal incentives and continued high or higher gas prices. This (solar) alternative to fossil fuels only needs...

There's no question that wind and solar are some time away from being viable, but they aren't necessarily as long away as you say. And,...
