Candidate Positions
Monday, 06 Aug 2007 Categories: Reality
This is a great chart showing all of the
candidates' positions on various issues. Makes
me realize how many of them are scary. And how
few I find match my own positions. Found via
BoingBoing.net (which also
includes some other interesting links and
commentary on this). I have to admit, I've taken
a rather large break in thinking about what's
happening in the world beyond casual
observation. Part of it has been a strong sense
of depression at how bad things have gotten.
Some of it is also a sense of futility. In
hindsight, that's a terrible attitude to have.
We elect our government. We have a
responsibility to stand up for what we believe
in and elect those people who feel the same way.
To sit back and say that nothing I can do
matters is the worst thing I can do. So, it's
time to start paying attention again and getting
involved. We have a year until the election.
It's time to get started.
