    It's nice to know that the stupidest politicians are not all in my state.
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    Thank you all for stating the ridiculousness of Maes' position in a coherent and polite way.
    I really don't understand how a person could think that the U.S. "gives up sovereignty" when it joins an international delegation, to help solve a pressing world issue like sustainable resources. G-d forbid we *collaborate.* Why are people so afraid that we might *gasp* become a little more like the rest of the world?
    Yea, xenophobia is a good word.
    Like I said before, there's a reason I live where I live...

    hmmmm, I was considered a black sheep and rebel in my youth - guess that my cycling means that I am STILL a rebel

    This guy is now promising to lay off at least 4,000 people if he gets elected.

    1) There are a bunch of people who will now NOT VOTE FOR YOU for fear of losing their jobs, and

    2) He won't even have the power to do that if he DOES get elected.

    *sigh* this is going to be an interesting election.

    He probably lurks here (that after his 2nd wife ran away with some bike trail honey "I'll get them!")

    But seriously I don't know much about this candidate and even less about his opponent. But if his stance on cycling angers you get involved.

    You can make calls from anywhere, pass the hat after a club ride. But vote if you're in the area. vote vote vote.
