-Caveat Lector-
Mostly, the people have bought into the propaganda put out by the two
ruling parties: "A vote for a third party is a wasted vote." I find it
remarkably funny that when I talk to people on a one to one basis, they
agree more with Libertarians than with either of the Republicrats.
However, when I suggest that what they actually want will not come about
unless they actually vote for the man who espouses their ideals, they
parrot the line "But I don't want to throw away my vote." Very
frustrating. It seems that, to many
Americans, voting is like betting; they want to bet on who they think
will win, not who they want to win. To me, if you don't vote you have no
right to bitch about how things are going.

CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance�not soap-boxing�please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'�with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds�is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
