    What would you ask Sen. Obama?

    The Great Obama Bugout

     

     

    !file:///C:/DOCUME1/GORDON1/LOCALS~1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.jpg!I would ask Obama the following questions:

     

     

    1.  You got something like 92% of the Black vote in NC and 36% of the White vote.  How do you interpret that result?  Are Blacks more racially biased than Whites?

     

     

    2.  Is population-driven economic growth sustainable?

     

     

    3.  If U.S. is already one of the worst polluters in the world at an average of 20 metric tons per capita annually, how will we be able to make any progress on reducing that number at the same time our population is growing by 300 million by the end of this century?  At the present rate, that will add 6 billion more tons annually.   Just to stay even it would require a 50% reduction in the current rate to 10 metric tons per capita per year, about the level of Mexico.

     

     

    4.  The limit of finite natural resouces per capita as population increases without bounds is zero.  In other words, the more people we have the less of these finite natural resources there will be for each of us.  How far down that road do you think we should go?  Doesn't this suggest that at some point population growth will mean a lower standard of living?

     

     

    5.  What changes in tax and immigration policies would you propose to decrease the rate of depletion of our natural resources?

     

     

    6.  If we divert water from farms and ranches, how will we  be able to feed a growing population?

     

     

    7.  You have based your campaign on the idea of "change" but  isn't that what every presidential campaign has been based on from time imemorial?
