   Markos Zuniga gets 2,500,000 hits a day because he does a considerably better job than most professional newspaper pundits, AND he came up with the idea of using a blog to create a community.

   It’s the American Way. Got to build a better mousetrap, Rick.

   Too bad Rick Redfern can’t get
   a piece of the posting action yesterdays Doonesbury got, over 37 posts. Not bad. Not up in Pibgorns league yet but still, not bad. Saturday is a slow day for posters. Everyone is at home, instead of at work where they would be reading comics and posting, instead of working.

   Unca Alby - The problem with saying that only the truly intelligent and informed should vote is dangerous. That was the problem in 1776 when only land owning white men could vote. Everyone else was considered to be too poorly educated to vote properly.

   Don’t worry, enough ‘morons’ will vote for both sides that they will cancel each other out. It isnt necessary for us to urge people to disenfranchise themselves because they think they might not be informed enough to vote properly. We all know that BOTH sides have positives and negatives. It often just comes down to a gut instinct who to choose anyway.

   I like Pibgorn. I like it a lot. But I’m not sure why it gets SO many comments, compared to the others.

   Proposing the disenfranchisement of a significant section of the population is simply an attempt to turn one’s own group into the entrenched elite, although it will never be expressed that way.

   The uneducated have interests, too. If they don’t vote, those interests will get no attention.

   We ALREADY have a system where the wealthy have FAR more of a voice than the rest of the population. For some folks, what little influence the poor have - the voting booth - is still too much, and they want them to have NONE AT ALL.

   I see Trudeau has written a book of quotes about the Iraq war.

   I wonder if he has one about the leading up to the war, where every democrat in Washington warned each other, America, and the world of Saddam’s WMDs and nuclear weapons.

   I wonder if it has quotes from President Clinton’s 1998 nationwide address of Clinton’s proposal to conquer Iraq to remove WMDs, nuclear weapons, Saddam, and create a democracy there—to which democrats cheered…

   I wonder if anyone remembers the George W. Bush who wasn’t interested in nationbuilding, back when he was running for president in 2000.

   Heh. I’m tempted to plug my blog, just to increase hits, thereby increasing the chance that I MIGHT actually get paid someday! ;)
