A Pox On Both Their Houses
Just got back from seeing Fahrenheit 9/11. Definitely recommend it, but that's not what I'm going to write about. Instead I would like to talk about this year's election, the insanity of voting for anyone but Kerry, and the importance of ridding the country of our political parties.
I heard Arianna Huffington give a speech at a Kerry fundraiser recently. She addressed the question of how people should deal with reservations they might have about Kerry with this line: 'when your house is on fire is not the time to be talking about remodeling.' I agree with that. Given our dysfunctional electoral system, it is simply fact that the only people who have a chance to be elected this year are Kerry and Bush. If you are thinking of casting a 'protest vote' for anyone else, do not be deceived, that vote can help no one but Bush. It may make no difference at all, but it will do no good.
