We all get to vote in Nov. 2000 for Presidential and lots of other canidates. The hope would be that we don't have to re-elect someone who supports crap like this. While I agree with you on this, I can't help but to point out that the popular vote doesn't matter too much anymore with the electoral college's presence..
I also agree with you on Ventura's +, and I wish more candidates were concerned with personal freedoms, as I have yet to see a top level bureaucrat fighting for my freedoms, only what they deem necessary for the well-being of the majority.
A while back, Terry Hogan announced his retirement from wrestling, and hinted at maybe running for president. I don't know if he'd do it or not, but the thought of someone with very little political experience running for the highest office (?) in the country, or world, appeals to me. More people need to realize that you only have to be 35 years old, and a native born citizen of the US in order to run. Unfortunately, while we do have the few who run like this, the race is strictly biased by the media towards the person with the most experience and financial backing.. something that the "baseline" candidates lack, and something we probably need to start supporting. As long as a majority of the people are ignorant and only think that they can 'vote' for one of two or three candidates, then the two major parties will continue to rule over us.. whether we like it or not.

point taken, I guess I worded it wrong..
The thought of an average working class person running...
that make a bit more sense? --C:f

just my 1/50th of $1
I'd be more than happy/willing to take more than one of those old/outdated sparcs off of his hands =]. Who do I get in touch with?
