Ray-

I couldn't agree with you more. Economic inequality can explain so many of society's problems, from crime to health care, education and religion.

The Democrats are too in love with themselves to be the progressive party this nation could use. Conservatives are too busy looking for biblical reasons to protect their God given right to horde everything they can.

Hopefully, at this pace, we can crawl towards any sort of vision he hold for this country. Until then, we can listen to a President with a fake Texan accent and read about more bickering in Congress and little getting done- as always.

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.

>>In broad strokes that are bound to be too general to be useful, Republicans are largely fundamentalist Christians
who are skeptical about Islam, atheism, socialism, racial equality or change. In no particular order.

Democrats are largely polyglot acceptors of diverse religio-ethical points of view and ethnicities, and hope that more folks, rather than fewer, can share the American dream.<<

*Snort.* *Guffaw.* So what percentage of Asian-American, Cuban-American vote for Democrats? Asians 50-50, Cuban-Americans in Florida at least 70% for Bush. How about Muslims? They voted at least 70% for Bush. -g-
