14. Progression...
I love/despise this term "progressive".
I know it means so much to you, but can't you try to wean yourself off it?
It's so elitist and becoming risible.
Was John Kerry more progressive than Ralph Nader? Or vice versa?
Believe it or not I'm a true liberal - (from a different planet than yours of course) and am totally intrigued/baffled/confused by the election.
Gut feeling tells me that plain speaking is needed - and labels like progressive - particularly when applied to hobbits like Michael Moore, are destructive and lose votes.
Progressive?
Progressive/progressing? Towards what?
