10/26 Political Stuff
If Bush ran today he'd lose! Too bad that's a day late and a dollar short. Maybe we'll get one of them nice Democrats like Clinton. You know, the kind that cuts our civil liberties because of crazy guys with Rider trucks. Or that signs legislation that allows hospitals to discriminate against immigrants. Or that signs NAFTA, etc... I guess its definitely better than what we got. Hopefully someone will get into office with the cojones to reverse some of the crap we've gotten lately. But I haven't seen anyone that looks that bold lately. (Thanks for the link Robert!)
2,000 US military have died in Iraq, too bad the "peace movement" isn't staying focused on the 200,000 dead Iraqis.
What does make me a bit happier today is the Work Environment Index. New Mexico ranked 44th. I'll have to read the entire thing to get a better idea, but at least someone is looking at economic health from the perspective of workers instead of business. In a couple of the articles I looked at the other side economists stay focused on not raising minimum wages because it drives business away. Funny how they focus on that, but don't focus on the fact that worker-friendly(er) societies have better health outcomes. Hmmmmm. Time to change the paradigm.
