well, what can I say...
As a voter for, and member of the Green Party, I think that there is capacity for change. If your not happy with your two party system, why dont you start running, or looking into endorsing a third party. get involved on a community based level if you can. I'll agree that a two party system is flawed when they are so similar, but a nation whos people are unwilling to put any effort into changing what makes them discontent is not just going to fix itself. Instead, the gradual handover of power to neo-cons was made possible by a disinterest in voting spawned by the comfortable life that we share here in N.A (excluding Mexico). once basic rights were shared, and the hippies converted into yuppies, the current administration was just working its way up the chain. the warning against the "industrial military complex" was never really heeded by the general population, and shockingly, where is that industry now?? ask yourself if inaction is the only way to oppose a very active opponent? Gandhi was a very different case....hugely different. He was active. He saw a system that needed changing, and stood up. Non-violence doesn't mean inaction. M.L King spent his life trying to get the poorer Black population out voting, supporting their candidates, and making stronger communities. in a peaceful way. well, my girlfriend is calling me an unattentive ...... so I have to go now.
