You just have to make the choice between the lesser of the two evils - the
liberals, in my mind, are completely out of control... when they get power.
They are more responsible for govt. frauds like Kyoto and LOST (law of the

would want to put the UN bureacracy in charge of anything, is beyond me.

I think there *is* hope. The politicos need to, and I believe will, waken
up to the fact that they are under much closer scrutiny with the free
exchange of info -- blogs etc. -- on the Internet.
