If this were a no holds barred event, I'd take the CR80.

Re: Why Kerry is going to win. The Great Motorcycle Prophet speaks
Amen SRMark!
Even out here in the sticks the best way to get your butt in a wringer is to simply exercise your right , wait - we're talking University here after all, your responsibility to speak your mind. I and every one else around here who doesn't toe the party line are in nearly constant hot water. I, personally, am neither liberal or conservative and, in fact, despise all politicians, their keepers, and most of the mainstream media with roughly equal intensity. This is definitely at odds with the warm and fuzzy thoughts we are all supposed to have about authority.
Most U's as they are currently configured are really not about diversity at all. True diversity includes diversity of thought, not just sex and ethnicity. You are supposed to encounter people at an institution of higher learning who have ideas that differ from yours and public discourse is the way that you are supposed to sort 'em out. If things are really working right they are at least as smart as you are too. Precious little of that these days, unless you count idiots yelling at each other on TV and websites.
What/where did you teach, if you don't mind me asking?
cheers

Re: Why Kerry is going to win. The Great Motorcycle Prophet speaks
The people over here who do Strategic Planning and Risk Assesment are some of my favorites. I have noticed that they tend to be non-ideologic, focused on what is pragmatically important and have the ability to ignore all of the cack and background noise. Real problem solvers if anyone listens. Very refreshing.
Continued success to you, sir!

Re: Why Kerry is going to win. The Great Motorcycle Prophet speaks
Did you catch Jon Stewart tuning up both Crossfire hosts last week? One of the most refreshing and candid interviews I've seen in forever. I've never seen his TV show but I'd heard him on Fresh Aire a few weeks ago and I really like the guy. Calling a spade a spade is an increasingly rare thing in the media these days.
