nice post Jason.
I think some really DO try to enter politics to effect a positive change …. I think Jimmy Carter (looking back on it . .. I didn’t at the time) had that goal.
I think Al Gore had that goal. And when he was cheated out of the office …. he did what I think most thinking people would have done (and do) from the very start. Not bother.
There’s just enough people of integrity involved in US politics to give cover to the corrupt and they all-too-soon find out the truth ….. that they can’t change things.
sorry to sound so pessimistic but can you blame me? I couldn’t find a Bush supporter if my life depended on it and yet there he is …
I guess I’ll never have enough to understand why some are never satisfied and instead of seeking to better a world where they live so comfortably ….. instead they willing take actions that will further destroy the very world where they live in such fashion.
I think if there are other life-forms who visit this planet ….. it is for this reason they have never bothered to make contact. They probably view us as some of the most repugnant of species to ever occupy a planet.
