Since people have decided to argue over my choice to vote for Nader, I will address it here.
Someone cleverly pointed out that we don't even have a two party system and I agree. I think that both sides are equally corrupt and I want nothing with either.
I personally don't even agree with Nader. I don't think he'll make a good president. What he will do is get more votes than any other third party canidate. I think more people would vote third party if the felt they had a chance to win. Every person who says "a vote for anyone other than Kerry is a vote for Bush", does nothing but convince me more that I am right. Reality or not, it continues to allow the kings to protect their kingdom. I want no part of it, and if I don't vote, I may as well vote for one of "them".
Maybe I am idealistic and maybe I'm stupid. At the end of the day, however, I will have done my part and stood by my beliefs. I can live with that.
