.. <vote for Bush> .. you'll only have further upstream to paddle if you ever do get your day in the sun... at least with a vote for Kerry.. you'll hold some ground.

Personally & philosphy I think you're about 20 or 30 years too early in gaining much ground in the mainstream. Once the technological revolution goes full force with nanotechnology, quantum processing, genetic engineering, and telecommunication & data/digital transfer&storage.. you're going to be in a better position since drudgery work is going to be much less, white collar work is going to be spread globally and the Haves are going to just HaveMore. Then the sociological shift will have to happen.
