<I'm too fresh out of college to abandon ideals, since they have carried me this far. I don't plan to compromise any of them either.> None of us "plan" to compromise them, but don't be surprised if you end up somewhere other than you intended. And it won't necessarily be a result of compromising anything. My political interests began in high school when I worked on the McGovern campaign. I also volunteered for Frank Church. Two men of impeccable integrity and compassion. They seem like giants in this regard when I compare them to the two major party candidates from this fall. I suppose McCain would measure up well in their company, though he seems a bit more hot-headed. But if they were running now I would be strongly opposed to most of their policies. I have evolved far from their political views. Views I held dearly when I was a young man. I agree with many of the characterizations that you and Ray served up. Some are way too general (particularly the religious fanaticism angle). Though I believe Nader to be a demagogue of the worst sort, you can see the unwarranted abuse that is heaped upon the idealists that voted for him. There aren't very many idealistic democrats in that crowd (the ones complaining about Nader). It is all (well, almost all) about the power with these professional politicians. Economic disparity? I don't have the time right now to discuss this. May I suggest that you read The Road to Serfdom someday? I will eagerly read any book (under 300 pages!)you want to recommend that makes the case for the further expansion of social welfare programs and income redistribution. just a thought later
