Friends,
My shoulder is sore. No doubt where I broke it years ago
and perhaps from some strain during day or night or
weather etc. Well... Donapos;t feel like doing much of a post.
We have celebrated Winnie the Pooh as unconditionally elected
president of this journal...
Perhaps again as in 2004 we might do a Presidential poll for
the American election. We did in 2004 and got a fairly
strong majority for the eventually losing candidate so it
is not predictive but somehow interesting as showing what
you all feel...
Let me first outline some notes on my own politcial ideas such
as they are,and then notes on the poll.
1) My candidate this year in a small way was Michael Bloomberg
who is I suppose regarded as center-left.
2)I do not have yet any very high regard for either candidate
but I hope and rather expect either will serve the Republic
well when one or the other is elected.
3)I do not regard the two party stands on the issues as
representing any very major difference.
4)I am grateful that we have however two actually separate
parties and not two sock puppets of a single body.
5)I am optimistic about the future of the human race,
and even of this Republic.
6)important issues for me not much spoken about include
the Space program and the transmission of our literature
and civic culture.
Now the poll:
I. Is just for fun to see what is the orientation of the
readership here. If anyone is interested to participate.
II. Is in secret ballot. I will I suppose be able to see
who voted for whom but there is no way that the one choice
or the other will lower my opinion of you.
III. On consideration I have left out Ralph Nader and the
Libertarian or Constitution Party or other candidates whom
I think some of you favor, but ,well, that is my sense of
it that they will not play a role beyond 2-3 percent aggregate
in the general election so letapos;s keep it simple.
IV. The not voting option is for people not American,
not of voting age, not voting in any case.
So...

Today just this, welcome your notes, I will take third party
votes as names in comments and add them in if you wish,
and join you in hoping the
results of the actual election will serve the future well, yours
