"because you think the best way to bring about change is by working within the system, and I think the best way to do it is by agitating for change from outside the system, doesn't make you right and me wrong."

Yes, it does make you wrong Guest. You can't change something you aren't working with.

"the problem I have with the absolutists like you."
Don't look now guest, but it seems you are being he absolutist. You completely dismiss the idea that Kerry can bring about change and you do not wish to listen to those that feel he can.

"getting rid of Bush is far from my top priority right now. My top priority continues to be work to bring about the profound changes our society, the world's citizens, and the planet needs if we are to provide anything worth inheriting to future generations.'
Then by not backing Kerry you will insure PROFOUND CHANGES in our society. Bush will be re-elected and the changes he has started will only continue and there won't be anything worth inheriting. Nice going you selfish bastard.
