Why I Decided Not To Vote For Nader In A 'Safe' State, And How LBO-Talk Helped

[Lisa & Ian Murray]

Chuck0>> I got more news for you, Leo. The resurgent right is dying. A Bush
victory is not going to revive them. They can't overcome the forces of
liberalization in American society. The right wind bugaboo is dead. Just
go do your research and you'll find out for yourself.

This brings up a real interesting long term issue; age. Does anybody know
the median age of all the non-voters over the last 7 elections? Has the age
spread spread "wider". Did the twenty something's who didn't vote for Ford
still not vote today? The right was always old geezers from what I could
see, reaching out to a larger share of a shrinking pie of suckers. If
present non-voting growth trends continue, how long will it be before, say,
only 15-20% of the US electorate votes. An anti-statist left would have much
greater maneuvering room if this were to occur over the next 30 years. Of
course, rethinking institutions would also have to occur lest the tyranny of
structurelessness bites us all in the arse.....
