that you've got a lot more energy in support of Kerry than I do in opposition. I thank you for taking so much of your time and thought into crafting a response to my earlier message.

As for me, I'm basically in political shock as a result of the damage that has been done by the Republicans over the past few years.
Somehow they must be stopped. Their destructiveness goes far beyond mere U.S. politics. They are pillaging the entire planet. Obviously, there are natural laws that will eventually step in and bring this crazy cycle to an end. However, it would be better if positive action by concerned people could bring that about sooner rather than later.

A more likely scenario is that after the U.S. government goes bankrupt, as did the U.S.S.R., a more stable, wealthy and therefore more powerful Country (such as China) will decide to "finish us off". Maybe even a coalition of U.N. members would decide that we've gone far enough.

I wish that I were as enthusiastic about any possible opposition candidate as you are about Kerry. At the point I seem to only have aversions to certain front runners, Senator Clinton in particular.
Maybe it's not realistic, but I want a candidate who sees the dangers
of fascism and who would work to move us toward a government that favors the common people rather than the rich. I don't think that person is likely to come from the ranks of the wealthy, old family blue bloods.
