I'm voting for principal, not personality.

I'm voting for radical change, not the status quo.

I'm voting to have the Pentagon turned into a triangle.

I'm voting for a new economic system that lets you own the company you work for.


Edit- Yeah, principle. I'm not feeling well today, and thought I would post the bottom line of all the ideas I've had with respect to where this country should go, versus where it has gone, and probably will go, as long as people are focused on the stupid details.

although after 20 years of things like NAFTA, MFN-China and H-1b visa having someone outside of the 1 percent decide things now seems 'radical'

Otherwise, I know it's a disservice to Bernie to present it so.
Thanks for the reply. I really am tired of trying to get people to see what should be common sense. I wonder if DU has changed since I signed up, or if I'm just discovering how blind people are. At least the crowds outside of this forum seem to be in favor of his ideas.
