Re: OT: US President (US Dom Players only)
This Left-right discussion is interesting. Many people here (in sweden) would consider both republicans and democrats to be more or less right wing. Our Right wing goverment that we have right now is much closer to the democrats than to the republicans.
What we call leftist would be those parties left of the social-democrats (which we consider in the middle, and who stand a good deal left of the US democrats)
That would include the Left-party (yes thats the actual name!), and the various communist parties. While the greens fall in their own category.

I think the Dems are more like the Bajorans.
Oh look at the adorable nose fringes.
Oh wait, oh crap, they can fight!
Deep cuts. Nerd cuts.

Re: OT: US President (US Dom Players only)
If you want to whats really going on, research UN agenda 21. I think you will be rather dismayed. Our local dear leaders have started implementing it here and our ability to rebuild on our own land is being held up by non-issuance of building permits.
After all owning a home in the mountains is not a sustainable development. They want to build a Stalinist housing complex that is connected to mass transit. no need for cars, thats not sustainable. Our little community is a test project for this agenda, And I think it stinks.
I think I'm gonna follow Albert Einsteins example, split before they close our borders. They (the government) have been allowing the construction of private owned prisons, quite a growth industry. I wonder who they intend to populate these complexes with. If you want more info on this look up corpwatch.
Those who don't remember history are bound to repeat it. I hope I'm proven wrong in these fears. Truly I do.

"And I, for one, welcome our new insectoid overlords."
That seems a little apocalyptic to me, Bwaha Sen. Obama elected president 3 days ago, and already your community is part of a giant stalinist civilian-imprisoning secret conspiracy? Wow, that guy is fast I hope he solves the global warming with that speed too
(Great that at least they're letting you denounce the conspiracy here on the board before the imprisonment )

Re: OT: US President (US Dom Players only)
As a side note, private prisons primarily benefit from draconian drug laws that were passed under the Reagan administration... the majority of inmates are minorities, and most of them are in for drug related crimes. Obama's election is probably bad news for the industry for several reasons. Also private prisons do not allow employee unions at their facilities. Quite honestly, while Democrats have the reputation for "big government" because of their pattern of social spending, they are more libertarian in their attitude towards throwing people in prison for minor crimes, and they are less likely than republicans to pass laws dictating the private behavior of people in their own bedrooms.
In the interest of full disclosure, I was a corrections officer at a private prison for two years.
