None of the above: Open minded.

I'm the kind that thinks if the sky's gonna fall, I'd rather be out in the open on a regular old bike than crushed in some bizarre egg-shaped pedal car thingie.

Doomer and *proud of it. I guess I can't help but identify with the label. Misanthropy and Doomerism seem to go hand and hand, at least with me.
*Guess its not much to be proud about. But what else am I going to have pride in? My virus busting skills in Megaman Battle Network 5?

Investor Peakoiler : Which companies will benefit from a falling sky? Are they junior sky-catching companies, or majors? Are they diversified into other types of businesses such as ocean-parting, desert-greening or are they pure sky-falling plays? Do they have corporate presentations available on their websites? Do they have investor relations personnel to answer my enqueries? Are institutional funds buying into them as well?

Doomer Groupie: "these figures are very disturbing, looks like the sky will fall and the world will end. Soon. Cool!"

Born-again doomer.

Quite the articulate individual no?

Thanks for that Spec.

Love the one where he gets asked about tribes and sovereignty.

....and represents the hopes and ideals of the American People.



Democracy, you've got to love it.

Ah, Bush meant to say all that. No one's that stup..inarticulate. He's really just an entertainer at heart.

When he switched the words "tarrifs and barriers" to "terriors and barrifs" I guarantee you it was just to make us all laugh.

The man's a genius; his humor is meant to unite us.

That is funny and scary at the same time... I kinda like that.

I've never found Bush funny. My basic emotional reactions to him are numbness mingled with fear. But it isn't Bush I fear, it's the masses who put him in office twice.

I'm not trying to be offensive but to non-American ears, a Southern Drawl does not come across as coming from, how shall I put this, someone with more active neurons. Is this the case in the US? Does someone from Boston sound more credible than someone from the deep south?

Yes, I know this is totally biased, prejudiced, etc. but if I hear two people speaking, one from the deep south and one from New England (or even worse, from the U.K.) my inclination is to assume the New Englander is more intelligent. I know it's wrong, but I do.

I'm happy to try to tackle that one. Yes, there's a stereotype that a Southern accent is an ignorant accent. However, some of America's finest writers and best minds have come from the South.

At the same time, we have another stereotype that would categorize the way a Massachusetts intellectual sounds as snobbish and pointy-headed.

The last election, from the viewpoint of the American masses, was basically a battle between the Boston accent and the Southern accent. Even though Kerry won all three debates by most reckonings, Bush won the election because the zillions of voters who don't read just didn't find Kerry "folksy" enough. It was a personality contest, and even though Bush is in some ways dumb as a post, voters preferred him to the comparatively cold, stiff Kerry. The whole election should be a textbook example of how our political system no longer works.

I have always believed that a lot of Bush's accent is faked or at least exaggerated. The boy emperor grew up wealthy and privileged of an old New England family. His accent and mannerisms have been put on as a political device.

You should know that there are many variations on the Southern accent, by the way, and that some sound far more cultivated than others.
