content: Sorry Dave, but this is an election year here in the States, and if you wanna get my vote you gotta come BIG!Where's the pandering to the extremes? Where's the vilification of the opposition? I need to hear why a vote for another child will endanger my freedom. I just can't commit until Sagan has been put through a year-long vetting process.
