After living in Germany for 5 years, and visiting frequently (most recently the first half of '05)... Stern is one of the most anti-American publications out there, and have been noted as manufacturing quotes/stories as they wish. Yes, McCain sucks.. but I'm inclined to hope what he said was that 'Global Agreements would have to include India/China', and obviously, that's a non-starter. Try David's Medienkritik for more specifics on the misinformation campaign that is SOP in Europe. http://medienkritik.typepad.com/blog/ v/r I’m not inclined to believe everything STERN has printed.

Voting for McCain is a waste of time and effort, since he'll govern like a Democrat, but actually voting for Obama (who refuses to talk about his politics for good reason - he's to the left of Hugo Chavez) would be too much. I don't think that Hillary will be on the ballot. Her candidacy is over. Headhunt 23: I prefer “don’t vote for president - vote Republican for Congress”.

This is really the lesser of two evils… We could still vote Ron Paul even with some of his ideas and views are wacky to me. That could basically shut down the government as we know it which might be a good thing compaired to the options above.

The reasoning goes something like this: Fossil-fuel energy prices, especially oil but also including coal and gas, are on the rise (good stats including history <a href="http://www.econstats.com/spot/" rel="nofollow">here</a>). We (the US) are already at a competitive disadvantage because we are comparatively wasteful of energy, and this comparative disadvantage will increase as energy costs become a larger part of the economy [Note: I don't have supporting evidence for this comparative disadvantage]. Sure, China burns coal in grossly inefficient (and polluting) electric plants (also cement plants), but they have purely crass and selfishly greedy reasons to switch to higher-efficiency plants. Efficiency technology is pretty much a winner, and we (the US) could dominate in efficiency technologies, and in alternative power technologies, if we chose to do so. And a bunch of federally funded/subsidized focused research/development, or tax incentives if you prefer less intervention in the market, would be enormously cheaper than 100+ billion a year of war-fighting and country-occupation and wear-and-tear of military equipment in the Middle East.
