Re Paula's concern that Bush as president would mean more American lives lost to poverty and illness than Gore. The greatest danger to American lives in this election, and specifically to the lives of the poor and the young, because it is they who get killed in wars, is that Gore and Bush would both wage war wherever and whenever to preserve the relatively cheap gas prices that this economy is currently dependent on. Americans are already being killed in Colombia for that reason, although it is camouflaged as a war on drugs. Bill Mandel
