| 10. Does that mean denying them a vote? Then Congress is solid Republican |

Edited on Sat May-22-04 10:57 AM by jpgray
This does not create an environment more conducive to progressive views; it does the opposite. The idea that we have to burn down everything that's imperfect in order to build something better is silly. We work with what we have, we may have a shot; we tear down what we have, the Republicans will fill the vacuum. Then the secret service will continue to detain Green party leaders via the 'no fly list', the FCC will continue to turn the media into a state propaganda arm, and fear/bigotry-based war and propaganda will rule. In this environment the progressive utopia you evidently envision will have its leaders divided and removed from public view before anything even gets off the ground.
