Leftists ..... UNITE!
Ok, here we go.

We don't need to agree. Yet, we need to have some kind of concensus. Anarchists, socialists, democrats, greens, most of whicn we are all of.

What can we have that we can all unit on? We have to do this. We have a formidable foe. We can't relaxe on November.

Clinton is not my answer but I want to hear liberals and most definitely some leftists.

Plus I'm drunk.

3. Cause Ideas That Sound Good While Drunk
don't sound so good when it wears off. Of course, the other alternative is to stay drunk all the time.

4. drugs and thinking
Maybe the beer won't help, but FRANCIS CRICK, the Nobel Prize-winning father of modern genetics, was under the influence of LSD when he first deduced the double-helix structure of DNA nearly 50 years ago... Crick, who died recently at age 88, told a fellow scientist that he often used small doses of LSD then an experimental drug used in psychotherapy to boost his powers of thought. He said it was LSD, not beer, that helped him to unravel the structure of DNA, the discovery that won him the Nobel Prize.

Rational thinking and creative thinking are not necessarily the same thing.

5. Agreed. I Never Said The Ideas Weren't Good
Just that they usually don't sound so good in the morning. Or so simple to accomplish.

6. And Right Now I Am Thinking
maybe the double-helix applies to the Universe or even beyond. The string theory DNAified.

8. "Francis Crick" sounds like something you'd say instead of taking the Lord's name in vain
as in 'Francis Crick, look what the preznit done did now!'

I'm gonna remember that one.

16. Hope you're feeling OK this morning.
How about this;

Most, if not all, of our problems stem from the rise of corporate power in America.

From vote counting fraud to global warming, decreasing union membership and power, unfair taxation, bizarre and unjust drug laws and rampant imprisonment of our citizens, unsustainable deficit spending both personal and governmental, inaccessible and inadequate health care, income inequity, the deterioration of our national infrastructure, the deterioration of our educational system, contamination of our food and water supplies, diminished or non-existent civil rights, oil dependency, $100,000,000 political campaigns, information censorship, and a hundred more issues that we face.

All would be improved or eliminated if We The People reign in, regulate, or in some cases dissolve, the mega-corporations the rule over every aspect of our lives.
