I just read it again, and your whole post is really nothing so much as a reasonable, eloquent description of how I would hope people would interact with one another. It also fills me with a sense of pity that such basic principles need to be spelled out for (and even held up to ridicule by) people who see the world through different glasses entirely.

The political spectrum so clearly ranges from Libertarian to Authoritarian rather than Left to Right as we have been conditioned to believe, you will never make contact with blindfolded neo-cons.

It is really frightening that the system is so rigged that we root for one side or another as we freely elect our slavemasters. As long as there are people who believe like Dane, we are going to get to tyranny one way or the other, and it will be of very little consolation if it comes from the "Right".

I think I am going to go into a diabetic coma over your sugarsweet review. Sheesh your above itlaicized "review" reads like a New York Times review of the Clintons.

You and Scottiewottie can continue your mutual admiration society meeting.

Thanks for the diabetic coma! LOL!

I agree that it is rather sad that we have to dedicate the sacred right to vote to a short list of two abusive and corrupt powerbases. The only gratitude is that they still fight for power to stuff the other out of the feeding trough.

I do get rather weary that my vote is one that does not really change the system, but that my vote is more a weapon of causing injury to the party that could cause the most harm.
