Biotech Values

We have a thousand years of documentation on just what happens when you allow single minded people to take charge. You are correct, it very much matters.

I was doing some dd on an oil company a while back and was reading the stock's message board. Many of the off topic posts turned to the slamming of Obama (he had been in office for about 2 years). You can probably guess the geographic location(s) of most of the posters. Most agreed that Obama was an international embarrassment for the US and that GW was a much better leader.

Most of these men had probably never been any further than Mexico or Canada and they were some how experts on international opinion. I would bet most did not even own a passport.

Having traveled extensively and lived abroad for the past 10 years, I can say that while under W's reign I have never been so embarrassed to call myself American. More than once it was even dangerous. We have grown tenfold our enemies and lost the respect of many allies. We cut funding for higher education to near nothing.

Electing Obama, if nothing else, showed the world there were still Americans willing to stand up against the radical, single minded religious and corporate control. And it raised global opinion a notch or 2.

The fact that someone like Santorum can even be considered an option is terrifying enough. You don't have to look very far to find all the crazy garbage that thing has said. There is no better way to say it -it is craziness-
