I realize that my internet search skills are sorely deficient,<br>
but it seems to be easier to find the names of the Georgians who<br>
voted for Jimmy Carter the second time than it is to find the <br>
vote count for the 3rd party candidates.<br>
<br>
Your mainstream media seems to have completely boxed out the numbers
from<br>
the 3rd party candidates "since only Obamney was relevant", I presume.<br>

I've become convinced that the DEMOCRATIC PARTY has become a kind of
Frankenstein<br>
monster, a clear and present danger to the community. I've also become<br>
convinced that there is little realistic prospect that the DEMOCRATIC
PARTY will<br>
reform itself to become a responsible and accountable institution,<br>
answerable to the community in which it resides.<br>
<br>
The reason I have become convinced of this is that, unlike other<br>
community institutions, when something bad happens in the DEMOCRATIC
PARTY, there<br>
is no clear address for responsibility and accountability. If a bad<br>
thing happened in some other community institution, there would be a<br>
clear address for complaint and redress. You could call the Executive<br>
Director. You could contact someone on the Board. Responsible people<br>
would tell you what their plans were for redress. There would be a<br>
meeting of responsible people, empowered to take action. The meeting<br>
would discuss: why did this happen, what can we do and what will we do<br>
to try to stop this from happening in the future. But when something<br>
bad happens in the DEMOCRATIC PARTY, there is no meeting of responsible
people,<br>
empowered to take action, for the simple reason that there can't be.<br>
There's no such thing in the DEMOCRATIC PARTY as a group of responsible
people,<br>
empowered to take action. Because this is the case, there is a culture<br>
of impunity in the DEMOCRATIC PARTY. And this is intrinsically
dangerous to the<br>
community. If the Urbana police announced, "in this three block<br>
radius, we are no longer going to enforce the law," that would be<br>
intrinsically dangerous t<var id="yui-ie-cursor"></var>o the community.
That hasn't happened in this<br>
case, of course. But there is a culture in the DEMOCRATIC PARTY of
being above the<br>
law and beyond accountability, and that is intrinsically dangerous to<br>
the community.<br>
<br>
Therefore, since effective reform of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY seems
impossible, I have<br>
come to the conclusion that legal avenues should be explored to force<br>
the DEMOCRATIC PARTY to shut down.<o:p></o:p></font></font></div>

[Peace-discuss] Irrelevance of the US election<br>
</font></div>
<br>
Literally billions of dollars have just been spent on America's
quadrennial quadrille - to reproduce the governmental status quo ante:
a Republican-controlled House of Representatives, a Democrat-controlled
Senate, and the same Chief Magistrate (as the framers of the 1787
Constitution referred to the president). <br>
<br>
Of course, economic and military policy - the USG's killing and looting
- would hardly have been affected, even if other candidates had been
elected: in America policy is insulated from politics. <br>
<br>
The show is produced for Americans, to convince us that we're deciding
political questions, when of course we're not. The rest of the world,
with some distance on the matter, seems to realize that more than we
do. <br>

restaurant and shop curfew, the need for interior ministry reform. The
U.S. presidential election? Not on the menu. 'We’ve got more than
enough to worry about with Morsi,' the 42-year-old Somaya says, roughly
chopping a bundle of molokheya, bitter greens common in the Egyptian
kitchen. 'I didn’t even know about the U.S. election, and I don’t care.
Whoever wins won't make a difference to us.'"<br>

today. I was reporting on a mass hunger strike by some 700 prisoners
demanding Kurdish education and court rights and an end to the
isolation of PKK rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan, serving a life sentence
on an island jail. It is Day 55. They are surviving on sugar water and
liquid vitamins."<br>

is in power.'"<br>
