A Quick Note

To people who are fed up with politics as usual; people who want a chance to vote "None Of The Above"; people who believe that not voting is actually making a politically valid statement:

Wise up.  I hear a lot of people tell me they just can't bring themselves to choose between the lesser of two evils any more.  Been there, guys (still there in some ways).  It sucks and it feels like you're not making any progress at all.  But one thought keeps me goin' back over and over again.  Choosing in favor of the lesser evil is the same as deciding against the greater evil.  If you're confronted with two lousy alternatives; neither of which will do you much good, but one of which could be worse than the other; why would you choose not even to try to beat back the one you think poses the greater threat to you?

And for my Values Voter friends - in the face of evil, doing nothing is not an option.
