1. If you live in lower east Transylvania what does a United States
Presidential election have to do with you and this mil veh hobby? Absolutely
nothing, unless you want to sell a mil-veh to an American sometime or you
fear what happens in the US could happen to you next.

2. If you live in the US, why bother over one election, doesn't the
government have more to worry about this little hobby? Yes it sure does, but
they do it anyway.

Choice: Republicans believe in minimal government participation and a few
basic safety nets, thinking that free capitolism will fill in the rest. (
This is what made the United States the great nation it is, er, uh, was back
in the 50's) Democrats wish government to evolve into a comprehensive,
benevolent system of protections, guarantees and social benefits. ( This is
what made the USSR the great nation it is today).

In a shrinking world these are all fair considerations and in America they
are hard choices....... all relevant to the global mil-veh hobby to some
extent.

I wonder which way I should vote? Hmmmm, for cutting my own throat or for
the Republican candidate? Decisions, decisions...

No matter where you live......You can either resist the incremental erosion
of your rights with a smart vote or a protest or you can watch as your hobby
is choked out and slowly killed along with other little things in life you
might value.
