What we have here is an accurate, though rather one dimensional, prognosis- and it doesn't look pretty. Humanity slaughtered hundreds of millions of its own in the twentieth century. This century, it will be <i>billions</i>. Me, I'm considering investing in a bomb shelter- when I can afford it. Being eighteen rather limits one's financial resources, but I imagine the system still has a few decades of life in it left. If not, I'll get popcorn and watch the fireworks from a safe location.

My Uncle Dan, WWII veteran, ND grad, majoring in chemistry, with no ands or buts taught me that biracial people needed to be the future in USA if there was ever to be racial harmony, and that the best second language for us to learn was, Spanish. Time will tell! But, re Vassili above, some black and whites do like (and love) each other, or Barack Obama would never have been born.

I am so entirely f**king sick of cowboy/rancher presidents who are ignorant buffoons and do nothing but embroil us in war and enact idiotic policies. It seems like the last umpteen presidents were chosen basically by ignorant, bigoted, southern white folk. Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Carter (I like Carter), Johnson...who am I missing? God Damn the South. The question I have then is how come we let the South pick our presidents?

Yes, we have our racists, but to assert that all American whites and blacks equally despise each other is pretty ignorant. That’s a rather pugnacious thing to say.

USSR collapsed in 12 years from the moment unjust Afgan war started. And nobody was sorry. On the other hand - peace loving nations are very good on defense... and offense had already happened - lands East of Germany.... I’m Russian and I hate war.

The choice of candidates is nothing short of amazing - insane old man, feminist-pinkish-woman and black. Speaking of the latter - let's be honest - whites in the US don't like blacks and blacks don't like whites. That is the way things are. So - my conclusion => McCain will be the next president Since I’m looking at this from Russia - I don’t have to be politically correct…

He's anti Iraq war and could help get votes from Republicans who have had it with GOP excesses. I think James Webb would be an outstanding choice for Vice President.
