Quite right, dear erik.   The main porblem with really believing some
electoral party has a person's best interest at heart is the party itself:
I am completely unaware of any party that has wirked its way out of
business.  As a matter of point, for a party to see itself as "effective"
the party must above all else preserve itself as an wirking entity.  This
heirarchy of goals means that people *always* come out, at best, Number
Two.

Shoot, I'd bet at one time even the Republicans had a vision of higher
purpose.  Of course it disappeared when the first ballot was counted and
so it has gone with the greens.

Heh-heh.  Mitch thinks that calling a congressman would do some good.
Heh-heh.  Heh-heh-huh.  Hee-hee-heh. Jeez, what a gas he is.
