"...take his game and play in the next one..." The needs of the people have always driven political change and not party loyalties of the entrenched. The parties have changed as independant thinkers have stood up and driven them to change and as important historical milestones needed to be crossed — abolition of slavery, women’s suffrage, deficits, agrarian rights, labor right, social security, health care and civil rights, to name just a few. The stakes are always high and the party loyalists always cry that it 'isn't the right time' wait until this or until that. If you challenge the system too much now it might crumble. Well then, let it crumble. If it didn't we would still have slavery and we'd still be in Viet Nam, etc. Wait for what? Justice waits for no man. It is the one thing in this world you are required to stand up and do for the sake of your own soul. Dem vs Repub... chyaaa rieeght that is sooooooo'oooo meaningful. Is that your life? It will be over soon. Life is the purest form of energy, physically undetectable in its finest form, neither created nor destroyed. The essence of life persists in eternity, as the states of temporal existence transform in their ever-illusive comings and goings...and beings. What will you really have when everything is said and done? You will have to live with every thing you've said and done, or not said and done...for eternity. If not now, when?
