America

Today's has just been a buzz. what a rush last nite when I read online that The Man was gonna run again.

So, the haters, responding to the red cape in front of them, full of their sound and fury, charge @ nothing, full of what ...... ever........

But consider these things.

One: You agree with Nader on everything. Everything. Tell me one area where any of those others fit the bill better.

Thought so.

Two: The Democrats are different? Tell me, how did we benefit under President Clinton? Remember all the Change and all that that was supposed to flow from his font? Oh, there are excuses and all that, and a Republican congress and whatever. But in Bill Clinton, all I saw was a radically right wing politico who did nothing positive. And look back - "Change/change/change"

Whatever... never mind.

Three: We, as we should, made fun of the USSR when 98% of the vote would go to the Communist party in their elections. Iraq, North Korea, Nazi Germany= same thing. The Democrats and the Republicans garnered 99% of the vote in 2004. Two parties. Meaning, no better than any of the before listed countries. You can have their electoral systems. That means all of them.

Four: Two parties? Two?? Both of them say nothing to me about my life. I reject them both. They both suck. Why can't we have a system where there are multiple views on the multi faceted layers of our country? Oh, the haters will come out, but again - the two parties - beyond the rhetoric to make it look like we actually have a choice, what real difference is there? Think back to the government shutdown in 1994. Oh, they were so different and so combataive- but it was over relatively (in context) a little bit of money. The two sides were not that far off. But it came out as some Great Big Difference between the sides. Right. They still play it that way.

Five: The deal is this: we must build more parties in this country. The sort of hegemony of the parties that exist these days is distinctly against the principles of this country - namely democracy. I had given up voting forever after voting for Clint in 1992. Why bother - what does some rich guy in one party have over another rich guy in the other party? Nothing. they are both going to do for their class - and since I and 99% of America is not in their class - why do these shysters get so many votes?? I reject them, and reject them completely.

However, the ideas of Ralph Nader and patriotic Americans like him should be propgated to all. These ideas should be flowered into many many parties that give full expression to all of America - not just these rich guys or...... well, no 'or', actually, just these rich guys.

America needs change we can actually believe in.

Think for yrself, and do not let the New York Times, ABC News, and the McNeil-Lehrer News Hour do it for you. Really. You are an American. That means something in my book. do not disapoint the generations to come who will look back on this period and deplore "What were these people thinking?"

Truely express the greatness of our people? Yes we can!
