You are a true democrat and I applaud your loyalty. I do think you need to start thinking a little more "outside the box" to understand that neither party provides much hope for America, let alone the world.

Sadly enough, apathy is a popular commodity and the belief that it is all too late and nothing can be done is an easily used, popular and cheap excuse for finding a way through situations and using the principles of free communication and informed democratic process to better conditions.

Our entire history in this nation has been predicated on the experimental proposition that men and women are smart enough to evolve their own destiny. That's why we broke away from the last King George who thought we needed a more intrusive government (no matter what he said). I am not a Democrat in the partisan sense, madam, but a democrat in the Jeffersonian sense, and I believe that free men and women can and have made the world a better place. I believe they can and have made the world worse, as well. Which way it goes depends on you -- and sitting back regretting how it is too late for any good to be done is not going to help any good cause or get any good thing done.   I urge you to bestir youraself and seize the day. It will not come back.

Never mind the Skull and Bones or the Trilateral Commission. Real people casting real votes and pushing for real changes will make a difference. Join them.
