the 2004 election and howard dean

in particular is the first time i've been motivated to be politically active, participating in voter registration drives, neighborhood canvassing, etc... ok, i'll admit, i was (and still am) scared shitless over what bush&rove inc. are doing to my country but... i saw dean as the first transparent, real, bona fide human being to appear on the presidential scene - at least in my lifetime... just think what would be going on if he was president right now... my guess is that it would be one of the most exciting and stimulating times in our country's history... instead, what am i doing...? opening an offshore bank account and preparing to leave permanently... what a shame...
