Two PSAs are available today and tomorrow exclusively on MySpace (www.myspace.com/18in08) and were released by 18 in ‘08 (www.18in08.com), a nonpartisan youth-run organization dedicated to registering, mobilizing and engaging young voters for the 2008 election.

I wish I could articulate better why this whole idea disturbs me. I feel like the Internet has always been a kind of funky global neighborhood where a fetish shop might be ‘next door’ to an evangelical church. This kind of parceling off of the common Internet namespace feels like that neighborhood is at risk of being put in the shadow of huge custom condos that will block out the sun.

nly people, guided by their values and beliefs, can decide what is moral and what is not. My own guiding principle is simple. Everyone has a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, so long as they do not infringe upon the rights of others. From my point of fiew, this and this alone is the proper perspective from which to judge the morality of sexual orientation or any other aspect of human behavior.

A Republican president with a Republican majority in both houses of Congress could not bring the leader of the terrorist group that killed Americans to justice in the five years they were in charge. Why do we accept the idea that a new Republican president with a Democratic house and senate would make us safer?

McCain has consistently surrounded himself with Republican party insiders and lobbyists that have embarrassed him and and his campaign over and over, but nothing could have prepared me for this one.
