America, I weep for you. MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (CNN) -- During the first GOP presidential debate last month in California, three Republican candidates raised eyebrows by indicating they did not subscribe to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, a widely accepted scientific concept about the origins of life. CNN article[^]. This is sad for the U.S. Only post WWII were you the world's leader in science and scientific discovery. The amazing things you brought the world were fantastic - leading scientists flocked to your shores. And now? Now you are but a shadow of your former self.

While I understand your sentiment, I'd recommend you save your tears... despite our obvious problems the rest of the world is screwing up just as badly and thus not really making up any ground. :|

I watched part of the debate last night. Could someone please stay on topic for once? Anyhow, the one answer I liked (in response to what do you think is the biggest moral problem in America right now) came from a representative from Texas (Paul Tims I think?) who discussed the morality of a pre-emtive war. I thought Hucabee's response about how the Republican platform is to value life at all stages was a joke since it's the Republican party that mostly endorses capital punishment. I still have no idea who I will vote for. But I think they should bring in the Academy Awards orchestra to the next debate. That way when they go on and on (and Wolf Blitzer just keeps trying to interrupt) the orchestra can drown them out.

I believe that was Ron Paul. He was the only one against pre-emptive war. And stated the constitution defends a defensive stance, not an offensive one.
This statement was never false.
