It is Kerry himself--our bait-&-switch replacement for Dean--who has done most to deny any alleged substantial differences between himself and Bush. Kerry will probably not nuke the birth-control clinics. That's a nice difference. I hope he makes it. I hear this song-and-dance every election, from when I rang doorbells for Lyndon Johnson in 1964 to stop that insane (He was, almost as bad as GW!) Barry Goldwater from getting elected and starting a war, to when that nice Mr. Clinton signed a genocidal measure against poor people euphemistically called "welfare reform." Kerry is not your friend. He and Georgie are good-cop/bad-cop. If you want to throw away your vote on the kind of candidate who can get elected-&-not-shot in this country, well, I do hope there are a lot of you out there who will do so. I almost look forward to being able to say "I told you so." The fact that someone like Bush could even be considered a candidate in this country is a sign of Real Bad National Karma. This isn't going to go away by a few nice pragmatic electoral victories. We need to put some faith where it belongs--not in Bush's obscene parody of God, enthusiastically waving our flag in the Celestial Bleachers--but in the God who did the true miracle of keeping us alive through fifty years of nuclear monkey dominance-antics. Thanks to our national worship of fear and false practicality, there's a lot of people suffering--on the streets, or crammed two families-per-one-bedroom-apartment into fantasically overpriced housing. We need to connect with those people. We need to get some public attention directed towards looking out for "the least among us"--including a great many women with kids, dumped into a slavery-level job market under the care of an abusive vestigal welfare system, now forced to raise those kids under fear, hunger, unstable housing, and involuntary lack of parental attention. Theresa's Funiciello's proposal, that we replace "welfare" with a subsistence-level, cash-refundable [not requiring taxable income for payment!] tax credit for people raising children--is the best system I've read about so far. Maybe we can convince Kerry to make an issue of this need. I doubt it, but if he does it, I may even vote for him. Forrest Curo ------------------------ Yahoo!
