14. Might be.
It is weird because over the past month the prevailing voice has changed. Before many held to the ideal of a candidate that would be against the Iraq war, one that would talk about the illegal surveillance of citizens, the Patriot act and habeas corpus. The media has selected three candidates for us that, for the most part, do not speak to these issues. Many people with true value for those issues have gone silent here. The 'tubes' are filled with folks that don't seem to understand that by excluding Kucinich from the conversation we all lost a huge part of the election process. I hate to say it but the squabbling here is mostly from empty heads that don't have the ability to grasp the gravity of the situation. There really isn't much difference between the three candidates. I think the media fuels the fire for gender and racial tensions that seem to fester here. Peace, Kim
