And you say seven years is not enough. What is enough? Fourteen years? Thirty? This is the long run in which we are all dead. If I want to take those sorts of time horizons, I will bet on socialism rather than the good guys taking over the DP. My comrades have worked 25 years in the Teamsters, but they have something to show for it. I'd rather put my efforts with them. I will _vote_ for Jan Schakowsky (my Congressional Rep, and a ), but I don't have 30 years to spend on the Dems . . . .
