I'm not totally behind Kucinich's plans, but I'm not pretending my candidate is a throw 'em out on their asses and turn the place upside down guy either. Just seems to me if these people really wanted that, they'd get behind Kucinich because that's what he's about. And if that had happened, Kucinich would be way ahead and hell, I might get all excited and think maybe the country really was ready for a change and jump on board myself! And once cynical old people like me are on board, well then you've got something going on! So it makes me angry because I know we all want change, but Dean isn't going to provide it at all and the candidates that would at least offer real progress are being drowned out by hype. It's just so disturbing.

And Kucinich would probably keep us out of a war, but I have a friend who has a theory of opposites. Whatever a President runs on the MOST, expect the opposite. Not because they're intentionally being liars, but something to do with his idea of human nature. What we want most is the thing we can't figure out ourselves (or something like that) so we end up continuing to create the opposite of what we really want to create. I've kind of noticed it to be sort of true in retrospect, but haven't done so great in seeing it before the fact. Anyway, his theory would say we'd get in a war with Kucinich and a really bad one, because he so strongly wants peace. Just a little ramble there.
