I disagree; a vote cast for Nader is more likely to be a vote cast away into 
the abyss of grinning Impotence and Apathy (mafioso partners who protect us 
from emotional and mental break-down.)  

How many of you vote?  And no it's not an accusation...   

The truth is that for many of us the only thing that could possibly escort us 
out of the house and past the protection of 'Too Scared to Care' is Hope 
herself, dressed like a new opportunity.  She'd probably even give us an 
audience with Anything's Possible if we wanted her to, (course I hear he's 
only available when enough people take him up on the invitation.) But there's 
a lot of us non-voters out here, and if Inspiration would offer a hand, well 
who knows who we'll meet?

And look, if you want to vote for Gore because you WANT him in the White 
House, then do it. Vote for Gore. Do it because it's a positive action that 
you really believe in. And yes, even if you wanna play it safe and vote for 
Gore because Caution's been whispering in your ear, "If you don't Bush will 
win," well then I can't criticize you. Fear gets the best of me all the time, 
and I'm just as scared as you.  I just have to keep reminding  myself that 
Caution works for Big Daddy Fear and gets paid the more afraid I become, so...

     whatever you choose, choose wisely - meaning from your heart, your head, 
and your spirit... And vote for what you want and what you hope for; not for 
what you don't want or what you fear.
