Listen Mike, I am sorry I was so heated in my last message.

I am just skeptical of the "star" system, and the idea that ever
electing anybody does anything in the long run without continual
organization and permanent institutions made up of the people who
actually don't own our society.  It is the same kind of delusions that
so many people had about Clinton.  I just didn't get it.  Sure Lamont
would be better than the alternative or Gore would have been better
than Bush.  But to say this is to say very little and is only an
indication of the lousy state of real social mobilization.
