This will probably be my last post in a while... I came back onlist only
temporarily, and when the mail gets to 50+ messages a day, I can't keep up.
JDG, I had never before seen "The Greens/Green Party USA" written that way.
To see what you were talking about I went to http://www.greenparty.org (a
lucky guess as I had never seen their site previous). From their described
beliefs, they are socialists, and a lot of what they say has proven
impractical or impossible in the real world. I don't support many of those
stands... I think more emphasis needs to be placed on improving education and
providing people the opertunity to learn a trade so that they can get a job
they are good at (and hopefully enjoy) and earn their keep... anyways, a lot
of that is irrelivant. Most of that is not part of Nader's campaign. I
would be surprised if any candidates would stand by those issues. !

I don't
vote for the party, I vote the issues. If I believed what Al Gore says, I
would vote for him (as I've said before), but his record just doesn't stand
up, and I don't like what happened with his predecessor in office. As for
The Green Party being lunatics... A lot of the things they say are
impractical and just don't make sense, but, guess what, a lot of what the
Democrats and Republicans and Liberitarians, and all political parties say/do
are impractical and don't make sense. Those are simply the views of the
members of the party, and though some of those views are unrealistic, that
does not make them lunatics, it makes them humans. Humans: flawed, insecure,
frightened, misguided creatures looking for purpose in their existence, don't
be surprised if they don't know what's best for the world. The republican
and democratic parties pull a lot of their stability from the diversity of
their s!

upporters, but if we wish for our government/world to be stable, we
need that same diversity, so that all interests, not just the elect few, are
represented.
