What Josephine said. In this forum, I would prefer to restrict comments about the candidates to those that relate to astronomy and space exploration. We’ll have enough political nastiness during the next couple of months without the need to discuss such things here. I think I’ll vote for Ralph Nader. ;-) Kim -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Josephine Grahn Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2008 1:30 PM To: utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] U.S Presidential Candidates ReleaseSpace Policies You know, I doubt we will reach agreement here. I suspect that if one is having open heart surgery, academics and learning become more important than the ability to win a knife fight in a back alley. On the other hand, if looking for an escort for your child through a bad section of the city, the ability to win a fight becomes a little higher on the list. Regarding politics, if one has factual information to put out here, fine, but let's let the facts speak for themselves, without resorting to gratuitous commentary on what the facts say about the brain or brawn of the candidate. There is enough of that on shout radio, I hate to see it intrude here. Jo Quoting diveboss@xmission.com:
So what, a fighter pilot none-the-less. At least he served. In some capacity. Guts trump academics.
