a friend of mine who is Israeli by birth has almost convinced me that voting is worthless in this country. in california we have a ton of propositions we get to vote on, and those make sense, and maybe in local elections where people actually can and try to make a difference. but at the national level, i've given up hope of a vote having any meaning or value. every last person running right now is a scheister. war hawks, reverend right wing huckabee, a mormon, a clinton, someone who would abolish public schools, and obama and edwards. do any of them really have something believable and meaningful to say???

if nadar stops running for national election AND i continue to go to the polls, i'm just going to write in either his name, or my name on the ballot - which we can do in CA, maybe i'll write you in for senator. you'd like that job, non?
