21. Two America's is absolutely correct, the good people of this country have been
let down by 3 who couldn't figure out what it takes to be the standard bearer.

Wonderful and passionate John Edwards got snookered by the party big dogs who nipped at his ankles snarling and biting.

I thought he had the chops to out smart the lousy party power brokers.....but no, he fell for their line and now he is has been reduced to a foot note......while the huddled homeless masses fight for a dry spot under the bridge.

I don't have a clue on what to do next. I have figured out that my type of activisim is cyclical. I start out young, work hard for the ideal, get disalousioned, drop out for a while, come back and get involved or get elected on the local level, move into city, county, state and national politics, be able to give money, work for a higher purpose, and then die. I will be in the process of being replaced by a very enthusitac young 50 something, who is following close in my foot steps.

We never grow our numbers, we are considered fringe, and the rut is getting deeper and deeper from spinning our wheels.


For every 10 steps this country takes forward, we take 7 back.
