Yes, this is very interesting indeed. It is apparent that the Bible influenced the Halo series greatly. The Flood, Halo, what you said and more are all references to the Bible.
Oh yes...this again...the whole "Americans are a bunch of idiots"...pathetic.
The point of the primaries is to decide who will be the nominee in each party (Republican and Democrat) because as it stands now there are two Democrats running and four Republicans. Only one of each will be chosen to run for President, and then the main elections take place which is later this year.
