The politics of nature

Democrat), instead of making an egotistical, feel-good gesture that
subverts the larger purpose.

When I look at what the current administration is doing, I think that
Ralph Nader and his supporters have a lot to answer for.


good point ... my votes for "oddballs" have all been in local offices ....
but still wasted in that sense

although I think "getting people thinking" depends on focusing them on what
the want, not fear, I nonetheless feel that in a choice of evils.... the
current evil is far too evil ...... and we must vote for a lesser one, a
lesser one with hope of winning

If you feel, now, that you wasted a vote, then, I suggest that you just quit
votin'. Maybe then you'll feel better about yourself!

Your vote doesn't have to count for ****, if it satisfies your conscience.

"The FBI noted that use of almanacs or maps may be innocent, 'the product of
legitimate recreational or commercial activities.' "

Hm.....I dunno.....every time I'm in downtown Chicago and some swarthy
individual with a thick Arabic accent holding an almanac asks me how he
might find a tall building, please, it sets my antennae to wiggling
something fierce.

"But it warned that when combined with suspicious behavior - such as
apparent surveillance - a person with an almanac 'may point to possible
terrorist planning.'"

God help us all when the feebs find out about DeLorme.

Well, that's what you get for wasting your vote.
