McCain said he's running for president in '08 on David Letterman last night. He'll be making an official statement later.

No vote is worthless. Such statements show a complete lack of understanding of the democratic process. Moot point, this is not a democracy. QUOTE Yes, I agree that the two-party system has monopolized American politics. I'd love to see a few more strong, viable third-parties arise in the next decade. Do not forget, Spivey, that PR systems have their fair share of problems as well. The system of 'muddling through' only works so long as there is a working, stable alliance between parties of the 'majority.' A small shift either way can lead to a complete collapse in the operation of a government, thereby leading to either the drawn out and difficult process of a whole slew of new elections or simply a government that gets absolutely nothing accomplished until the next regularly scheduled elections. Thank you Dr. Mayer... -------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

Moot point, this is not a democracy. Thank you Dr. Mayer... Comparing me to a Ph.D in political science? Ok, works for me. We are a democracy, in its modern definition (which incorporates points from both a republic and a democracy, as I stated before). The definition that I go by is that of Robert Dahl's "On Democracy." Read it sometime, might open your eyes a bit. -------------------- |
