Quote of the day:

[conuly]

We must dissent from the fear, the hatred, and the mistrust. We must dissent from a nation that buried its head in the sand waiting in vain for the needs of its poor, its elderly, and its sick to disappear and just blow away. We must dissent from a government that has left its young without jobs, education, or hope. We must dissent from the poverty of vision and timeless absence of moral leadership. We must dissent, because America can do better, because America has no choice but to do better.

-Thurgood Marshall, US Supreme Court Justice (2 Jul 1908-1993)

Nah, screw them! They don't deserve better! Didn't you get the memo that the motto of the RNC is 'I've got mine, screw them!'? And it's all so very christian of them! I'm sure the bible says something about it somewhere.

Yeah, the RNC is a bunch of rotting bastards and the DNC has problems of its own. This two-party system sucks.

One can hope that we will indeed do better and do work to make ourselves able to contribute to doing better.
