As strongly as the list feels about the big issues; Nikon v Canon, Apple v
Windows, B&W v Color, we do not need political crap here from either side.
If any thing, we should all be worried that in a country full of unlimited
opportunities, the best our system could do was to provide us with the three
losers we had to choose from this year.

Charlie, why did you respond to the DigitalBlackandWhite group asking
to be removed from a Sierra club list? I assume that was a mistake
you made.

Sierra Club does not spam news groups (if they did, forward me the
full email with headers and I will bring it up with senior staff at
the Club).

Barack Obama is the leader who will put America on the path to a clean
energy economy that creates and keeps millions of jobs, spurs
innovation and opportunity, and makes us a more secure nation.

Obama's administration delivers on the bold, serious, and urgent
action on climate change we need now to leave our children a safer
