Description

my first experience with politics was a running argument with a friend in high school over the nixon-humphrey race. not that i was passionate about hubert, i just hated dick. although i lost the argument in the short term, nixon's eventual resignation was one of the best birthday presents i have ever had. i never forgot the lessons in democracy of that time.

i have often found myself in 'hold your nose' mode in the voting booth. but i truly liked bill clinton. i still believe in make love, not war. that was what i voted for. i was furious at his impeachment, not just at the architects of the effort, but at the electorate that swallowed the thin disguise pasted on the attempted coup. i wanted to scream from the roof tops. i wanted to grab strangers by the lapels, and yell in their faces. how could people be so blind?

when the florida debacle occurred, my frustration began to boil over. as i watched the hijacking, i wondered, how can we ever criticize the mugabes, the baby docs, the daleys, the tin pot dictators of the world, as they steal elections. what i wanted to tell the crooks was this- the whole world is watching. i began to fantasize, not of homicide, but of buttons. i dreamed of making buttons with this slogan, hundreds of them, and deploying them, guerilla style, in the dark of night, in the commuter train stations in the cozy, republican suburbs near me, sticking them anywhere they could stick. it was a dream of infecting sleeping minds with the virus of clarity and common sense.
