Do you think Obama will be killed if he becomes president?

Posted by bruni on October 24, 2008

Just as it happened to JFK. Not talking about conspiracy and weird stuff, (could be), but talking about some mad person who does not really like changes, specially if we talk about wars and international policy.

It would be the end of America
no matter who gets elected someone will plot to kill him.

i highly doubt obama has any more chance of being killed than any other president.

3. In the last 40 years the Earth’s population has doubled from 3 billion to over 6 billion.

Now you could go on and on about how much human activity is influencing the world climate, but I just don’t understand how someone can look at this picture and think that it will have no effect on anything. You may think that the only thing that matters in the world is the economy, but the economy is just a subsystem of the larger system it inhabits… the ecosystem.
