I'm not in California. But I wanted to weigh in on your other point and do agree that not voting is counterproductive. Guess I'm not a nihilist.

In recent days, I've been researching and have seen evidence of what Chomsky is saying in central Europe. In Yugoslavia, daddy Bush started their disintigration into civil war but Clinton finished it. So under the skin, the parties are willing to be on the same page.

I don't go along with the "well, we're into it so we have to stay the course" philosophy. Reversing course may be difficult in any scenario. But I have to wonder and ask the question that if it's the same price to wage a reversal of policy and fix messes as to continue a conflict, why not do it? Both parties seem more interested in shedding blood than waging peace.

Like I said, this has nothing to do with the Cal recall.:dunce:
