The problem is not plastics bags but the behaviour of people who use them as well as Government Policies with regard to recycling.

Sorry to have been away for so long, but I have been listening. Mike's show was streaming here from 3 am so I chose to listen in bed using my wireless headphones linked to my computer. Then, I had a month of no internet access through broadband, so I was forced to listen using my 56 kbp... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/jmatthan/107 Mon, 07 Apr 2008 23:08:24 In The poll being done by The Nation which started on 7th November, on 27th November Dennis has increased his lead over the second, Obama, from 9 to 11%. Dennis still holds 35% of the vote while Obama has dropped from 26% to 24%.

This is the position on 27th November:

Poll | posted November 7,... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/jmatthan/106 Tue, 27 Nov 2007 07:27:41 A regular poll targets just about 1000 people in a selected demographic profile with loaded questions and comes to a result which they claim is plus or minus 3 %.

The Nation online poll (with just one single question) would have met that demographic spread at least 10 times over if not 20 times, ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/jmatthan/105 Sun, 18 Nov 2007 02:13:20 With almost 21000 votes cast in The Nation online poll (started on 7th November), Dennis is way ahead with a 9% lead over his nearest rival Barack Obama. These are the standings on 17th November!

The rest on the stage were struck dumb by this!... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/jmatthan/102 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 16:07:38 In The Nation online poll with now almost 21000 votes cast, Dennis has an 8% lead over the next person (today November 16, 2007).

Educated and intelligent voters know who is the right candidate that works for the people and not their personal self interest. They know who has the courage even to ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/jmatthan/101 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 13:38:29 In the Nation Poll (which is still current), with almost 19500 votes Dennis (with 34%) is 8% ahead of Obama.

Remember that you are up against the Corporate Lobby and the Mainstream Media who do not want someone like Kucinich to get anywhere.

So it rests on you to carry at least 5 more people with you.And they in turn should each take 5 more along.

There is so much power in the Kucinich campaign tha... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/jmatthan/98 Mon, 12 Nov 2007 10:12:15 Great! Takes me back to the effective Joan Baez protest era of the 1960s!

The only reason this was brought up was because Kucinich had called into question the sanity of your pResident and the Mainstream Media wanted to make him out to be a whacko because he claimed he saw UFOs (which they implied was alien spacecraft and alien beings).

That was the objective but it ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/jmatthan/94 Sun, 11 Nov 2007 14:38:12 eom... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/jmatthan/93 Thu, 08 Nov 2007 23:28:52 eom... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/jmatthan/92 Thu, 08 Nov 2007 11:18:49 We are all in a state of shock in Finland at this event.
