pattyClink you've made me think! Start off with poetry 'cause this gets worse.

I saw this thread yesterday morning before the second response came up and I thought about it all day. I was an active radical in the late 60's and although I missed out on some things there was still plenty of ways to be involved from '67 on and many were. Tuesday was a great day in Mississippi and for all the fun I've had poking at them as patty and khandu well know, they have a right and a duty to take pride in what has happened over these years. There is still more to do as there is more to do all across the country.

Thanks for the thread as it also made me realize why I feel so bad not really supporting Obama. I don't feel racist, I feel a hypocrite to my past. I was happy to feel the joy for what has happened and encouraged by the vote in Mississippi without guilt. This thread brought all that together......Thanks patty.......

I will of course vote for Obama if he's the candidate but I still fear he lacks the horsepower to beat the Republican machine when it gets cranked up. He's still way too long on rhetoric. Once again, Jimmy Carter sounded better than any candidate had a right to with what were reasonable, workable, goals and ideas............Didn't work out though.

As I've stated repeatedly though, we are in need of not just modifications to our political system but a revolution. By the time someone reaches higher offices they have sold their souls. Ron Davies' zealotry to the contrary, Obam is no different.
