I don't have a blog people can post and dash on. (Not your problem, I know.)
Here is something I offer for you to think about: How do we wake up these liberals who are in many ways clueless to politics, the economy and social change. "Get democrats elected. That's as far as we'll go."
I was thinking more like where are you on this planet...if you told me I forgot..and what age are you? I'm just curious...
As far as your words to think on...I do not take it upon myself to wake any one up...I think of it this way...I would rather be hated for who I am than loved who I am not...I forget where I heard that....but that's what I thought of when I read your thoughts...
I guess we all have some form of political zombie-ism... :)
Hi Alice, looking for Mildred Mann's work, "Pragmatic Mysticism," - found your post but that particular link is no longer valid. Any suggestions? I apologize in advance for this, but, 'does Alice live here anymore?'
Howard Zinn now says he's voting for Nader. (Old News) Howard Zinn The famous historian lives in Massachusetts, where Obama is ahead by 20 points.
Zinn created a stir earlier when he said he was voting for Obama.
He legitimately took some heat for supporting the corporate Obama.
But late last night, Zinn admitted in an e-mail to our campaign that he made a mistake and now says he will vote for Nader.
And Zinn urges all people of conscience to vote for the true progressive in slam dunk states.
Of which there are now many.
(Zinn says that in non slam dunk states, he urges people to vote for Obama. We obviously disagree with that bit of advice.)
Or as Ralph Nader put it today:
"A vote for Nader/Gonzalez on November, rather than being wasted by piling onto an Obama landslide or McCain implosion, will produce a stronger hammer and watchdog for what millions of Americans want -- including public Medicare for all with private delivery and a living wage for the one in three workers who don't make one."
"Unless millions of voters of conscience choose the progressive hammer and watchdog of Nader/Gonzalez, millions of votes will be tactically wasted and serve only to increase the mandateless landslide of Barack Obama."
So, if you are ambivalent about this election, fear not.
If you live in a slam dunk state, follow the advice of Howard Zinn.
I really appreciate you sharing this with me, Anonymous..I would have forever been disgusted with Howard...I was already miffed when he mocked UFO believers on Majority Report Radio.. :)

I guess I blew that one. :(
I do see the need to do what I can to bring about change. Yes that is who I am. And yes, I am hated a lot. Oh, forget it.
You didn't blow it...I would just like to know more about you...the basics...
Later....

Hi Anonymous
Indeed. Alice lives. I went to archive.org, then to the 'wayback machine' link and here is a link to that page as it existed at the time of my post.
Thanks for your comment,
