I think it's all relative

Unfortunately there are many in the world who view a radical Christian Texan with a powerful military and nuclear weapons as a threat also. My point is simply that culturally we all have different views of what constitutes a doomsday machine.

I think the US and the world also face a major threat environmentally (not just global warming) combined with the threat of overpopulation. That's the threat that really worries me for my grandkids more than anything else. This globe is limited in what it can support. Just think if AIDS were able to be spread as easily as the common cold or flu...I think of Koyaanisqatsi -- "life out of balance" a Hopi Indian concept (and a film also). But that's just my thoughts.

Turning Obama's loss of his last living elder relative
Palin's handicapped child was being dragged out at all hours of the day and night to help gain that hockey mom family values gal political capital. No harm in pointing that out. Pregnant daughter used by the fringe camp as a convenient way to cry sexism foul and cop out on legitimate political debate on Roe vs Wade and birth control. Son and daughter are still among the living.

Obama's grandmother has been politicizd how? He credits her for instilling him with many of the values that drive him to seek office. She raised him during his moist formative years. She is DYING, for heaven's sake. Most human beings understand that grieving this kind of loss is off limits in terms of gaining political traction. This coming from the party that would shove their morality down our throats. I am so sure.
