Which issue?

[ranxer]

nice question, i got into a summation mood over this..
in general it looks to me like the demicans at major city or higher levels are pretty much solidly corrupt.

the system of corruption is cannibalistic enough to constantly make me wonder how the hell it doesnt crumble.

the only thing i can see keeping it running (inside america) is the balancing of a high degree of apathy and fear. most people seem to think they can't make any difference(48% of the population voting).. might as well try to get ahead using the system that is already corrupt. 'play the game' and get yer rewards but it's shrinking.
the business concepts operating on an infinite resource basis are doomed.
plus if you believe in sustainable practices your business is under attack by many forces. most of which have to do with lower wage competition.

it really is soo bad that if you believe in purchasing a product that is 'violence free' as per international human rights standards you cannot go to 85% plus of the businesses out there.. you have to be damn near an activist to track down most alternates to a non-living wage race to the bottom system of dog-eat dog profits.

as both parties continue to allow corporate buyouts of policy, huge amounts of tax dollars written off and spent in 'secret' without major corporate responsibility we are on borrowed time
..the cash-in being money flight and implosion..

grassroots third parties should get easier and easier to organize..

job loss, tax increases, healthcare nightmares, declining environmental health.. its majorly about problems of privatizations' short term solutions without oversight.. both parties talk about the problems but nine times out of ten there is a sellout or non-resolution due to some inability to 'sell' the ideas..

like we have to 'sell' the idea that we should think long term.. we only have a choice for so long folks, we will be forced to think sustainably ..the more we put it off the more violent the transition, whether it be global warming catasrophies, monocrop disasters or riots and martial law.

- guess the basis of this is a pessimistic view that the dems, if they unseat the armed and dangerous bush, will fail to protect workers or bring universal healthcare.. thus a total decline of both parties on those two issues. we'll see.

if dean had nader as a running mate i don't think bush would have a chance.
