The US electoral system will NOT be changed to allow true third and fourth party participation until those of us out in the boondocks cast our votes in a way to make the establishment take notice. If you do not support what you want you will never get it, and if what you want is lasting, meaningful change, don't vote for the republicrats. Neither majority party is going to plug the cash machine, and worries about the Supreme Court are red herrings designed to divert and confuse.
The election of Bush or Gore will not make ten cents worth of difference in the way any of us lead our lives, and only means we will be having the same discussion four years from now. Meaningful change can happen, but it happens incrementally and with glacial slowness. But the only way we can get the snowball rolling is to add to its mass one flake at a time. Maybe there are enough flakes here at Mudcat *BG* to make a tiny bit of difference so we can make a bigger difference next time!
