  Most mainstream news is a sham. Why didn't one major media outlet or Democratic candidate challenge the fact the Kucinich and Mike Gravel were excluded from the debates? www.NotOneMore.US - If we don't stand for something, we will fall for anything.

  The Wampeter of our Karass is missing With the passing of Kurt Vonnegut comes the end of an era. Who will the torch be passed on to? Unfortunately Mr. Vonnegut was one of the few voices who spoke in a rational manner about all the irrational things that humans do. There is no one on the scene who can make you laugh about things that make you cry like Mr. Vonnegut did. He had a good run, and stated things that needed to be said. He stood up for justice, peace, and common decency (which is missing in mainstream media, government, …

  If you believe the war is wrong, then it is in your interest to not support any democratic presidential candidate if they can't admit publicly that this war is a big mistake. Lets not make another mistake by supporting a Kerry type of candidate. Check out the website at: www.wordsareimportant.com/notonemore.htm that encourages any potential candidate to declare before February 20, 2006 (President's Day) that this war was wrong. Each time we compromise and not vote our conscience is another day that takes us further away from what we want. Also, while I supported Kucinich, I was disappointed that he chose party …
