I just finished watching the Fog of War--a documentary about Robert MacNamara(with him being interviewed).

All I can really say now is wowI urge anyone who reads this to see it. It was a very powerful film that revealed a lot to me that I was heavily ignorant and heavily aware of at the same time. Its odd that it comes after my previous post(good

I had been interested in Fog of War when what little information was available a few months or so back.

As for political agenda's, I think it's always good to try and find whatever hard info you can on which party is better - although usually it's hard to waft through the bullshit.

Yeah. I was thinking about that today: How much information does one need in order to make a sound political choice? I'm going to look up info on the candidates and related info, until I feel that I have enough information needed in order to make a good choice. If I don't feel I have enough info, i'm not sure if i'll vote.

I'm still thinking... :P

basically you just need to look for certain ideas and ideals of each candidate NOT the reasoning per se. get the basic ideas and weigh in, dont listen to the bullshit spin they put on it. please dont vote bush lol....ure a smart guy shaw...plz lol...

I'm kinda surprised.. you don't have to vote in the US???

In Australia it's against the law for anyone over 18 who hasn't enrolled and voted. Of course many people don't care so it isn't such a big deal for the police to crack down on - same reasoning due to abortion practices. They're illegal but "Women's Health Care Centre's" are still open doing abortions :P
