Funny you mention Ben, I'm reading his biography by Isaacson. This country is steadily heading in the opposite direction from what he had in mind...

I am still working on McCullough's bio on Adams. I want to get to that Franklin bio. I don't think many of the founding father's would be very pleased with where we are headed, 'cept maybe Hamilton, but he was a jerk anyway. |

This Franklin bio is excellent. I like Isaacson's style though, including his bio of Einstein...

Unfortunately that is our system.. you just end up voting for the lesser of the two evils.

nah I'll find a third candidate(better than not voting right?). But I cannot in good conscience vote for McCain or Obama. This is a principle I stand very very firmly on. He lost my vote today. |

+1...I feel the same was pretty much. I feel like I'm wasting my vote, but I don't want either of them...

It would be great if a 3rd party candidate would emerge and we elected him while at the same time tossing every incumbent congrASSman out on their ears.

it almost seems that in the primary you vote for who you actually like then in the main election you vote against the guy you like the least.
