can I put you o n my buddy list? Not that I ever DO anything with my buddy list, but what the heck.....

I think there's a parallel here with the description of Repub politics being a top-down arrangement, the party appealing to those in power whose interests are to hold onto that power and control the masses of people they depend on.

The Democrat party is a bottom-up party of masses of varied people, many of whom don't have the experience of working together, since we are somewhat separated by location and "separate" interests. I put "separate" in quotes because at heart, Democratic interests are NOT isolated discrete "special interests", but varied expressions of what I think I'd like to call One Great Dream: To do what's Right.

Well, now that the word "Right" has been appropriated , perhaps its best to say, "to do what honors the dignity of human beings". Hmm, I need to work on that, it doesn't have a ring to it.
