Know any disaffected youth? Send 'em here.
Here's a pretty cool site if you know any punk kids that are averse to electoral politics. It was started by Fat Mike of the band NOFX (who wrote the brilliant 'Idiot Son of an Asshole'), and the intention is to get punk kids who would typically gravitate to the Green party and tell them that Bush has to be defeated in order to swing this country back to sanity.
I'm adding the banner to the top of the page for a while.

Looked at your link, Miles. I don't see where Dean is going to be a puppet for the powers that be. I am glad that someone else noticed that Clinton has been the best Demopublican presidnt in the last forty years, but I wish they'd notice that the rigging goes waaaay back - from getting Kennedy in at the apex of Catholic America, to the whole mess of the Nixon years, with the start of the Southern strategery and all of that wonderful kimchee.
The problem is - how do you change the system - which, I believe, is still one of the better systems out there - to make it even better? Knocking it down and/or ripping it apart - which would be more of an anarchistic / punk type of attitude about it, accomplishes little as far as I'm concerned. What is amazing to me is that, in this puritanical conservative mockery of the nation I grew up in, these holier-rolling-than-thou types let Deserter Drunken McCokeHead get away with all of this crap. I think a lot of the puritans are having trouble with it, too...
