Such would help put an end to the surplus world population, thereby decreasing greenhouse gases and the demand for services. No need to waste money if they are going to die anyway, and spending money only prolongs their agony. At least, that's why my good friend Ebeneezer Scrooge tells me.

This year he is voting for Barack Obama. The reason he gave is that he lost his job 13 months ago and the <strong>Republicans have blocked extending unemployment benefits</strong>. This was over the top for him and he was going to vote straight Democrat for the first time in his life. Last week, I met a life-long Republican who told me that he never voted for a Democrat.
