Hmmm... obviously a misguided leftist.  How many people do you think actively
care about what party the candidates are from?  How many US citizens actively
pay more money for what are known as "inferior American products" when they get
better stuff from Japan for less money?  You pull a steffany carol in jumping
to incredible conclusions about what the American people will do to depose
the current ruling parties.  There just aren't enough one-foot-in-the-grave-one
foot-in-all-conservatives-face leftists out there to get the job done...

Interesting... you're succumbing to the flaw the infects even the most 
dedicated activist:  The "I'm right and you're wrong.  I can't see how you
can't see it so there's no point in talking about it" argument.  What ever
happened to your "anarchy rules" kick, Strat?  Perhaps you should get your
peacenik buddies together, renounce your "human rights for all" thing and 
start fire bombing any political establishment you see...

1) Of course EVERY reasoning and semi-logical person in the *WORLD* thinks
   this one is the most important issue.  
2) the Missiouri senate doesn't
3) Strat, when you get out into that real world and see what drugs do to 
   people, you might stop thinking of your little "legalize pot" attitude as 
   something k00l k-rad and streep.
4) When did this country start going down the shitter?  When did the divorce
   rate start rising?  Control of whether a person is married of divorced
   isn't an issue as it will never happen on a governmental scale anyway.
5) Perhaps if all the activists in this nation pooled their money they could
   fund some rehab programs or build housing (not shelters) for the homeless
   or maybe even feed a couple of them... crazy idea huh?  Maybe stop waiting
   for the government to hand it to you on a plate... just another crazy 
   idea...

Mr. I'd-be-a-communist-but-all-the-good-ones-have-gone-democratic strikes
again.  This guy is the epitome of just about everything you rail against.
'Cmon strat... everyone knows that any leftist that makes over $15,000 a 
year is only in it for the publicity... (shhhh... don't tell anyone that
Parrot is a capitalist until after the elections!)
