Question:

I have six reasons why I belive Kerry is for peace.

Isn’t he the one who testified that he participated in horrendous atrocities in Viet Nam?  Didn’t he vote for the war in Iraq?  Didn’t he say that Saddam Hussein must be "taken out?"  Was he not photographed recently giving photo ops with a gun, after getting a hunting license?  Didn’t he want MORE U.S. troops in harm’s way in Iraq after saying that the President didn’t send enough? You need a brain, "Annie."  He may be our next President but you will always remain in a world of self-imposed confusion and idiocy. EW

Oh yeah, one more thing.  Your "peace" object of admiration is for aborting third trimester babies.  Fuck you! EW

Response:

I have six reasons why I belive Kerry is for peace. Here is one of them.  One is his commitment to break dependence on Middle Eastern oil. Ingenuity and Innovation for Ending Dependence on Middle East Oil By Annie Birdsong I want an America that relies on its own ingenuity and innovation – not the Saudi royal family.                               – Senator John Kerry As fossil fuel dependency entangles us in horrific resource wars and plunges the environment to the edge of collapse, visionaries across the globe are pioneering the use of earth-friendly forms of energy. Among the brightest of examples is Chattanooga, Tennessee, which the U.S. government once called the dirtiest city in America. The smog was once so dense that people drove with their lights on in mid day. In an effort to clean up the air, the Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA) set out to put electric buses on the city streets, though there were no such buses in existence at that time and though the technology for such vehicles was only in its infancy.   First, in 1991, CARTA formed a private not-for-profit corporation, to promote research and development of electric vehicle technology, called the Electric Transit Vehicle Institute (ETVI), now called the Advanced Transportation Technology Institute (ATTI).   The institute manufactured two electric buses, which CARTA put into service in a downtown shuttle route in the summer of 1992.  The research is in the public domain. Next, CARTA awarded a contract in a competitive bid process to a private local startup company, Advanced Vehicle Systems, to manufacture 12 more electric buses.   Many of the parts were ordered from other companies.   The company built 102 electric buses for 39 communities.   "People love them," said John Powell, the executive director of the Advanced Transportation Technology Institute. "They’re clean and they’re quiet." The engines of the buses are simple with only one part in contrast to internal combustion engines that have 100s of parts, he said.   There is no tailpipe blowing thick black soot onto the roads, no oil dripping and no grinding of parts that coat the roads with heavy metals, thus highway runoff entering waterways is much cleaner. After the electric buses run for about 90-100 miles, the batteries need to be recharged, which takes six to eight hours. To get around this long wait, keeping the buses in service, the batteries are changed after about an hour and a half, said Powell, adding that it takes about 10 or 15 minutes. Though the buses are zero emission, CARTA is using power from the grid to recharge the batteries, whereas the batteries of an electric bus in Tampa, Fl., are being recharged by electricity generated by solar panels.   Other places are following in the footsteps of CARTA having electric buses built:  Solvang, Santa Maria , Anaheim and San Pedro in Calif., the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power and New Haven, Conn.   Harvesting the Sun A forward-looking community-owned power company in Sacramento, California, has built a solarport
