More pages in the little book I have been working in:
Cracks me up that people always get upset or "shy" away from talking about what some call politics. I tend to call it "life", "real life" especially when it's something that effects all of us-here, there and all over the world. I know I'm going to get a lot of shit for this-I have in the past and don't expect it to be any different in 2008. I've never voted for a democrat. I won't vote republican. For me, there's no difference between the two. I know what all of the candidates stand for. Their voting records speak for themselves. I wrote this man's name on the ballot in the past and if I have to write it in again in the future, I will. I wasn't going to vote this year. I'm sick of it being the same shit with a different name year after year. I agreed 100% with this article on voting from last year. If I'm going to vote, then I want to give my vote to a candidate who I feel speaks for me. I'm not voting for someone just because the Press tells me I only have a choice between Brand X and Brand Z. I do have a choice, just as you do. I've made my decision and I'm going to stand by it and stand by him just as I have in the past. Mr. Nader, you have my vote.

I always tell my family that I love Ralph and they get their underwear all in a bunch.
I kept insisting it was MY vote and it counted TO ME AND IT SENT A MESSAGE!!! So there!
I still think that.

Mars and I watched the Pete Seeger special. Loved the part when the woman went up and spoke to him at Washington Square Park!
Thanks for calling politics "real life!" I finally had the guts to write I don't understand the appeal of Barack Obama, and I am not ashamed to admit it! In fact, if Hillary doesn't win the nomination, I am NOT voting; if I did, my vote wouldn't mean anything to me.
