But Guest...

This ridiculous quest for power and the fanatical achievement of ultimate authority are both seperately and together perversions of the 'essence' of Democracy. Spin is the 'tool of choice' consistantly used to corrupt the 'democratic process' by emperors and dictators alike.

Democracy isn't about 'matches made in heaven'. It is about gathering accurate information, thinking for yourself, communicating your beliefs clearly and ingenuously, and responding/bending gracefully to the will of the 'well informed' majority.

...and to disagree without intimidation.

There is no 'gridiron' here with a scoreboard, spectators, won-loss stats, and time remaining in a game destined to be won or lost in a winner take all sweepstakes... Were all in this together, and our system is (was?) designed so that we could/should all be able to compose ourselves with an inclusive posture towards people of all political persuasions. The only opposing team on this field is a combination of misinformation and predjudice... and they are us.

I think y'all better get straight in yer heads that women in politics are no better than men in politics. Power corrupts, etc. Trying to make Pelosi a 'gender' issue is bullshit. She's a politician. Was, is and will be.

Now if only our political future keeps putting people in power for GUEST to whine about endlessly. That means the people I want are getting in.

The best one I have heard in a while is this:

Two guys driving down the road. One says to the other,

"Hey, what's in the bag?"

Driver says, "I got a bottle of wine for my wife."

Passenger replies, "Good trade."

That hasn't changed, but now I get to whine about something else than the next insane thing Bush told Congress he was going to do and Congress said, "Sure thing, Mr. Bush, anything for you, sir!" Blessed relief! GUEST, please continue...

Trying to bury someone when they're obviously very much alive is just plain rude.
