Comment:

The political landscape of this country at the moment disgusts me. And not in a knee jerk liberal disgust of anything right of the center. A truly deep and abiding sadness. A sadness because half of this country seems to think the War on Terror is going well. Or that the vast majority of people in this country are against same sex marriages. Or that we don't mind that George Bush is a no good fucking puppet manipulated by even worse liars. Or that John Kerry is a born politician that I find hard to trust. Or that Ralph Nader is a stupid, senile old bastard. With respect to all those men and their actual accomplishments, I must say that I can't help but thinking WE CAN DO BETTER. So I'm sending this CD to all three Presedential candidates. I sure hope they like it! Somehow I doubt it! In other news, girls are frustrating!

More than half, really. :(

You've taken the words right out of my mouth.
This is an excellent mix by the way.

It is beholden upon those of you who do not buy the rampant bullshit you are being spoonfed to raise up and let your voices be heard. You have the unique ability in this country to enact social change simply with the end of the complacent apathy that afflicts us. What we do does not make a difference. That is what we have been conditioned to believe. You know what I say? I say FUCK THAT. I say get up, stand up, stand up for your motherfucking rights, and one of our rights is not being run by a gang of two bit neo-conservative crooks. And don't even think about throwing your vote away for Ralph fucking Nader. I hate to say it, but sometimes the lesser of two evils is significantly less evil. Now I best get back to the campaign trail. John Kerry may be no Bobby Kennedy (or even a Jack Kennedy), but he is the weapon which we have now. And I'll be damned if I let the rest of the world know that we RATIFIED Bush and Cheny and Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz and the rest of those sons of bitches by voting for them AGAIN. They are doomed. P.S. why do girls gotta be such bitches?

In this particular government, the only way that multiple parties would work out is if the percentage of votes they get would reflect the percentage of representation they get in both sides of the legislative branch. Not likely to happen and so you are correct. It is sad..and your mix and your sentiment are right on..
