63. If you've ever thought that "we, the people" DIDN'T "have to do it"...
...you're miserably naive. In a representative democracy, when the people lead, the leaders follow. That's the "representative" part, and it's the one civics lesson that the Radical RW has learned well.

And if you're going to "vote Green" or - OMFG - "start the boycott the vote movement," do it because that's what you feel is right to do - not because Russ Feingold voted the wrong way ONCE out of about a million votes. Otherwise, you're acting like an ill-informed child holding his/her/its breath.

NGU.
