Reply #10: A couple of thoughts.... [View All]

....if Bush is the far right, and Kerry the middle (sort of, though perhaps to the right), and Nader & Dean mildly left .... then is it possible to think our nation can go from the bush position in the direction we need, without going first through where Kerry stands? Does Kerry represent actual change? Yes, in the very limited sense that he represents the potential for change, though certainly nothing more. Bush represents ONLY change for the worse .... and we can not afford that today. Listen! There have been two posts regarding Bobby Kennedy, Jr on here. He endorses Kerry because of the environmental damage that the Bush administration is doing. That is damage that can NOT be undone. Yet even here, on the hopefully open-minded forum these posts are largely ignored! Believe me, I believe in the same goals as the most committed revolutionaries ... Martin Luther King,Jr, Bobby Kennedy, Sr., Malcolm X .... but understand that ALL effective revolutionaries know that change often comes slowly .... only death and destruction seem to arrive at a fast pace. Your goals are perfect. The avenue to reach them may be open to improvement.
