123. The worst that could happen?
You can ask that after 2000 and 2004 with a straight face?

Want to know the worst that could happen? If you can't imagine it after the last eight years, I am not sure what to tell you.

I recycle, really recycle by buying in bulk, I live downtown so I can walk places, grow food organically, etc. But there are about 4 SUVs on my block and mine is the only recycling container that ever gets put out. America loves talking about being green but the minute you explain to them that the co-op is more expensive, look for their car at Walmart.

If there is some massive pent up demand for "far left-wing" (YOUR words) candidates why don't we see them getting elected to state offices? How many Greens or Peace and Feedom people are there in congress? How many governors? I think I recall a Dem being recalled and replaced by a Republican, know of any Republicans that have been recalled and replaced by Dems?

I LOVE most "far left-wing" ideas but I am adult enough to realize that middle America doesn't or at least they don't vote that way. I agree that the media in the rights pockets, that we are painted unfairly.

You are certainly welcome to sit the next election out, I will miss your help as will many others. Hopefully you will get another chance at an election, not all of us are sure of that though so we are working hard to win.
