    Don't you get it? DROP THE HATE! Your hatred of Bush is worse than the hatred that conservatives are always being accused of.

    Hatred is not serving your cause. It only gives credence to the existence of Bush Derangement Syndrome.

    If the US finds a decent, workable solution to Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, numerous South American countries, WIPO, WTO, etc, etc, then we might stop ragging on the US a bit.

    Well, I hope that the solution is better than the one Europe found for Serbia. Oh, wait, they didn't. They stood by as hundreds of thousands of people were brutally executed and dumped into mass graves as their wives and daughters were being raped.

    If that didn't happen, then I might listen to your ragging.

    then he is a template for how a President can act like a dictator and get away with it.

    That's a perfect illustration of the problem with excessive hatred. You can't see clearly who is letting him get away with "it".

    The Democrats took over congress, yet the troops are still in Iraq, the surveillance legislation was passed, Obama now says new offshore drilling is acceptable, and there's no impeachment of Bush. But all that is being overlooked because it's easier to hate than to think.

    What's more important to you -- your hatred or your principles?

    For a solid mathematical background (and a price that won't force your bank account to violate the second law of thermodynamics), try Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday, Resnick, and Walker. Excellent mathematical descriptions, but short on the kind of insight you can find in Feynman's work. A used, earlier edition costs very little and would be good reference for a person with a degree in mathematics.
