John Kerry's skill in oration and debate is quite refreshing to me. Along the same lines, Bush's blatant disregard for basic intelligence and the most heinous twisting of Kerry's words is appalling to me. It seems to me that the incumbant's method of persuasion or convincing the American people is to manipulate them, while Kerry's technique is to

In fact, if you're voting Bush, try not to speak to me for the next four years.

Indeed. If my busiest two days of class weren't Tuesdays and Wednesday, I might think about joining you for your election party. I should get together with my fellow expatriate Americans here and have a party.

I'd come to an election party at your place. If Kerry wins, we can celebrate by being not sober. If he loses, we can creatively make ourselves apathetic. I agree that no Bush supporters should be allowed to attend. There is nothing worse than having someone overjoyed at your impending doom.

There is no "check" to see that your address is the same, nor is there any requirement that they be identical. However, Pennsylvania updates your voter registration automatically when you renew your license (unless you tell them not to), so that may have happened. A call to the county election office can tell you in two minutes if you are registered there or not. It's certainly worth it. :-)

I find that Bush's southern accent makes him sound like an idiot. It's like he can't properly pronounce simple words. And this guy is running our country? It was interesting to hear Bush say that "this is right, this is wrong" and Kerry would bring up that even though he believes on way or another, there are citizens of this country who may not agree, and so some things need to be left open for judgement. That may sound a little confusing but maybe I can come back later and clarify it.

I totally agree -- I resent the fact that half of this country believes that we must impose the "correct" moralities on our citizens. That's not freedom, that's fascism. Yeah, *I* personally don't believe that abortion should be a form of nonchalant birth control, with fetuses littering the alleyways and dumpsters of my streets. But who's to say I'm correct? If the person doing the abortions isn't hurting me (e.g. I'm not paying for them with my tax dollars) or any other member of society, and it makes them happy, more power to them. I'm not arrogant or elitist enough to impose my moral standards on others. There are plenty of things that I believe in that the majority certainly don't (e.g. being in a nearly two year monogamous committed homosexual relationship) and I am more than happy to allow people to express their own moral standards in exchange for the same respect shown me. If nobody's hurting anybody, life's too short to worry about social norms and some completely irrational "Moral Responsibility of America." Honestly
