		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s campaign season. It&#8217;s that time when campaign teams and their supporters try to get their candidates elected. As a member of a local campaign team, I recognize that it&#8217;s tempting to see Election Day as the goal, to think that the point is to get a candidate elected. The result, it seems, are campaigns [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=michaelaparicio.wordpress.com&amp;blog=14042857&amp;post=838&amp;subd=michaelaparicio&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

It&#8217;s hard to know. For example, Mr. Mayne&#8217;s youtube videos merely toss out sensational charges such as David Glass &#8220;causes delays&#8221; and &#8220;places roadblocks.&#8221; Yet it seems safe to conclude that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=michaelaparicio.wordpress.com&amp;blog=14042857&amp;post=712&amp;subd=michaelaparicio&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

So far these wars have &#8220;cost&#8221; billions of dollars, over a million causalties, at least a hundred thousand lives, and uncounted traumas.
