Geeze Loouuueeeeezzzz, Kev, that is the problem in the US, the majority don't play the game... They should get off their butts and vote in the primary, get involved in local politics and instead of playing the angery spoiled child... they should take back the country and make something of it... but Americans want fast food, spoon fed entertainment rather than participatory culture, live off the fat of everyone else's land... and then instead the hard work of social change to play a spoiler's game. This is a nation which, as in the immage of Billy Bragg's "save the youth of America" has a lot of growing up to do. Our intellectual lazyness is costing lives around the planit, and may cost us the planit. For Americans politics is the half hour sitcom and the news is the fifteen second sound bite. Nader wont fix that... it is just another comodity notion, the proof being he will sell out all the hard work he did in the past to make a fool's point.
All the best... (wish I was there... my love to the family!)
