At the core of my personality, I believe there is not enough fairness in the world. Maybe it's because I was raised by African American women -- people who were not only never given a break, those breaks were actively denied them. I love the vibe of fairness, say for example when a driver allows a waiting car into a long line of traffic; when a cheater says he can't handle the pressure on his conscience and admits his indiscretion; when found money is returned to its owner; when nations cooperate for the good of their respective citizens. It is uplifting and it adds time to our lives.

So, why are we following a fraudulent regime and not resisting with every fiber of our existence? How can we legitimize cheating to claim the office of president? Any reasonable person has to believe something untoward happened in Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004. Whatever the magnitude of cheating you believe, you have to have some doubts about the legitimacy of the outcome. And, follow the line of those incidents and you see a pattern of cheating and shortcuts: WMD, Iraq war, Valerie Plame, Karl Rove, Abu Gharaib, wiretaps. We are held hostage by frauds and cheats. They even cheat their own constituency -- why isn't Roe v. Wade gone? That issue has become very, very hush-hush lately. Which is odd considering we are "blessed" with a: GOP WHITE HOUSE, GOP SENATE, GOP HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND GOP SUPREME COURT.

My heroes are those who kept their integrity in adverse times; any Indian can do as Richard Pryor said and sneak a hamburger about 1 or 2 in the morning. My respect goes out to those who would rather starve than compromise a true, positive ideal. I have strong issues with Lincoln, but my honest belief is that had Bush been in Lincoln's shoes, he would have cheated somehow, told his northern constituency he was against slavery and then allowed slavery to happen through a series of 'Presidential Declarations'. He is worse than Neville Chamberlain because at least Chamberlain had integrity. He was a weak, short-sighted man who thought he was doing the right thing for his nation. Bush is weak, short-sighted and cares only for his minority constituency of far-right crazies.

Plus, he cheats.

As much as I agree with your opinion, I'm also at a loss of how what you proffer can be actualized given that the pool of voters has been gradually declining in the US, and generally in most part of the world. See this wikipedia entry on voters' turnout: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_turnout Frank Partisan commented at 5:42 PM~ I don't think apathy is the problem. The Democratic Party is itself the problem. All they can come up with, is getting rid of Rumsfeld. I've been in discussions with The World Can't Wait people. I have disagreements with them, too complicated and numerous, to explain here. Frank Partisan commented at 8:08 PM~ I'll post on my own blog about "The World Can't Wait". I'm surprised it got big name endorsers like it did. Want to Post a Comment? back to main page
