Difference between me and Al Gore is that I would still be fighting. But that just show how the status quo remains the singular binding element in American politics.        

Jessie Jackson is organizing a protest for the Inaugration event. So much for any real political impact. His message, no matter how righteous, has, like us all, old. I still like the Day of a Million Moons idea. Something like that would define the historical perspective. It is "taxation without representation" again. We have come full-circle to the point that the American Revolution began...we just don't know it yet.

So I am looking around for alternatives that are more consequential than that which has come before. I found this way before the election:

It is an idea that several governments have used for their base politic...Nebraska, they tell me, is a porportional representational state form. I do know they are the only state that in not bicameral (two houses in the State Assembly). They have only one.

I think that the Senate itself is a left over from the Hamilton "unwashed" prejudices. Like the Electoral College, the so-called Founding Fathers (read that "Rich Guys Long Ago") opted to make CONTROL the basis of government, grounded in property rights (which women did not have until Oklahoma). That makes both a George W Bush and Al Gore...and most the elected in this country on all but the municipal level.

Jessie Ventura is so rare that, but for his celebrity, his rise to the statehouse in Wisconsin would have gone unseen by the media. Repulicans own the media...like we don't know that, right?
