My favorite part of the night besides Kucinich holding up
a copy of the constitution was the question about was there really a "global war on terrorism". It was interesting to see the separation on the show of hands. I have to wonder which candidates will still use it for funding corporations with the Homeland Security thing or will continue war like aggressive actions and the heavy military industrial complex empire gambit sweepstakes?

1. who replied "no?"-- I didn't see the debate but that's a question...
...I'm really interested in candidate responses about. I'll catch the debate on the internets, but I'd appreciate a spoiler on that question. TIA!

2. It was a bullshit question.
It's true there -is- a global concern with terrorism but it didn't allow for any significant explanation. It's equivalent to asking if there's a "global war on crime." The problem with that approach is that the biggest criminals are the same ones waging the bogus 'war'. (Same thing applies to 'terrorists') So how the hell do you realistically answer it?

3. I want a candidate with the courage to tell the truth about the GWOT....
It is a scam.

4. I want that too but unless there are people willing to listen, it's a tree falling in the forest.
And I don't know how to fix that problem except to do what I do...keep hammering on the idiots trying to make them hear.
