Peter_Puget Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 link We live in remarkably peaceful times. A University of Maryland study shows that deaths from wars of all kinds have been dropping dramatically for 20 years and are lower now than at any point in the last half century. A study from Simon Fraser University finds that casualties from terrorism have been steadily declining since 9/11. It is increasingly clear–look at their voting from Indonesia to Iraq to Pakistan–that very few Muslims anywhere support Islamic fundamentalists. More countries than ever before now embrace capitalism and democracy. Forces seem to conspire to make things appear worse than they really are. Sometimes they actually make things worse than they otherwise would be. I think the left wing "the sky is falling" mantra will in the end prove to be its undoing yet again. If the times are viewed as "risky" there is a smaller chance BO will be elected. Quote
olyclimber Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 You are absolutely correct. I don't know what I was thinking. I'm definitely on board with the McCain/Palin ticket now. THANKS PETER!!!!! Quote
