Welcome to the club, buddy!!!
Ya, me too
Hitler needed to go, Sadam needed to go and I can think of a few others that need to go too.
For something that will sound like bullshit now and later .. but if you think about it, if we never had any wars we probably would of used up most our resources. With that being said and no one wanting war. What would be a good resolution as to keeping our numbers in check? I'll take a risk and give one example ... only allowing 2 children. As you all know China only allows 1, it's a diffecult thing to think about however there has to be a way around this problem without blood shed.
I don't think any of you should cringe. You are all very intelligent people and I hold all of you guy's opinions in very high regard. There is really only one person who I thought was completely out in left field that frequented our board (although he was very intelligent) and he is gone now.

And now, back to stuff about the candidates...
From politico.com:
When Hillary Clinton said, way back in New Hampshire, that Vladimir Putin "doesn't have a soul," I figured that would be the sort of thing the Russian wouldn't be pleased about. But when I called the foreign ministry the next day for comment, it was Orthodox Christmas, and I let it slide.
He was asked about the remark at his press conference yesterday, however, and indeed wasn't pleased.
The former KGB lieutenant colonel appeared to lash out at U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton ? a leading Democratic candidate for president ? when one reporter quoted her as saying that former KGB officers have no soul:
"At a minimum, a head of state should have a head," Putin said.
One way they are different. Hillary is not fond of military force. Putin is shifting back to the old Soviet ways at a pretty rapid pace. He's making allies with Iran and Venezuala. He's making threatening noises about us installing defensive missle shields in Europe. Bush is standing up to him on that. I suspect Hillary would cave in a heartbeat.
