* Accept-understand reality, let your voice be heard; vote for a third party.

All social change for the betterment of ordinary Americans originated as a lonely cry in the wilderness. Maybe third parties don’t win elections. But they do profess alternative ideas and policies. There continues the hope of the will, despite what we know, amongst more and more of us, that the concept of social progress and social justice may again in the future be adopted by one of the dominate political parties. Let your voice be heard. Only the mass of potential votes will sway a major political party to consider weaning itself from corrupting practice of reliance on the moneyed influence of private wealth and corporate America.

So, you decide: Republican, Democrat, or Other.

P.S. The only kinds of fights worth fighting are those you are going to lose, because somebody has to fight them and lose and lose and lose until someday, somebody who believes as you do wins. In order for somebody to win an important major fight…a lot of other people have got to be willing -- for the sheer fun and joy of it -- to go right ahead and fight, knowing you're going to lose. You mustn't feel like a martyr. You've got to enjoy it.
