8. That's what I thought, but for some reason it doesn't fit.

Being altruistic, just sounds to negative. To my mind, an altruistic person will help others to the detriment of themselves.

and they were philanthropic, unselfish, humane and selfless.

15. Thanks....

I have been reading the forum... lurking for a few weeks. My mom is a big fan. I feel the need to gain hope and comfort that we will win this election. I am in a fairly conservative community in WI. The freaking "W" trash I see on a daily basis scares me.

Comfort me, tell me there IS hope...

A co-worker (republican) told me that the reason he's voting republican is due to the fact that he fears that if a national healthcare/prescription plan is developed by a liberal, his 6 year-old child will not be able to get medication that she is currently taking... and he thinks of his family when he goes to the polls.

I told him that I think of MY family and his. My child is 13 1/2. The thought of the quagmire in Iraq developing in the same manner is has been, and the horrific thought that he could be placed into that situation in the not-so-distant future is on the forefront of my mind.
