I might stop participating in the US political process
Back in 2000, I voted for Nader, because I had decided that there was
little difference between the candidates. I was wrong, of course, but, fortunately, I voted in a blue state and my vote for Nader made no difference. Now I see the problem that I sensed back in 2000 was a much deeper one, and it has gotten much worse. Democracy in the US really is broken. Both parties are the money party. There is no people party in America. When Pelosi and Reid refused to impeach Bush, it said to the world that Bush didn't do anything wrong. It shouldn't have mattered whether the impeachment would have succeeded, just going through the process of saying George W. Bush committed crimes would have at least told the world that humanism is still alive and well in America. But now both parties are The Money Party. I won't vote for either one. If Al Gore runs, I will vote for him. Or Kucinich. |

I mean humanism, mainly the understanding that we are responsible for making things happen. ie, If you are not religious, there is no God to save the world, and if you *are* religious, God expects you to save the world. >>> But now both parties are The Money Party.

Odin and Thor are dead and have been replaced with Kierkegaard. Macho countries like the USA have the marines and we invade those we don't like. There ain't no political process in the goo ol' USAF. We don't need any. We just kick butt and that is all. |
