When I read your list of the questions which were suggested Techno,I was struck by the how selfish and juvenile they were? e.g.
There are a handful of homosexuals, in a nation of some 300 million, who want to overturn tradition in this country why is this issue of same sex marriage important? Change the law because a small group want to impose its variant of behavior on the rest of society.
What possible reality is there in a small segment of the 'Black" population in this country wanting compensation for the enslavement of their anscestors? Hey big brother take care of me I dont want to work!
This and the whole format of these so called debates is the usual entertaiment driven laugh show that we get every night on the tube, or possibly the campaign ads that already lace that powerful campaign adjunct!
What happens to the important issues like immigration, taxation, the international threat of terrorism, social security reform? It seems we are caught up in entertaining trivia that is designed to get laughs and demonstrations of ones abiltiy to shoot the bull? And of course the Iraqi occupation poblem heads the list of great strawmen.
These are not true debates. They are a freak show designed to grab the attention of the uninformed. Designed to entertain an audience of gullible uninformed peopl, most of whom don''t vote anyway!

I did not think one canadate had the best answers for all questions but found that each canadate "sparkled" best on particular questions, I did not hear anything radically new that we here are not already aware of as a plan for this or that problem.

How does one define the "best" answers to such socialistic trivia and self aggrandizing nonsense?
