I meant I’m through working with/for them, but I’m not an absolutist. If a true “progressive” comes along I’ll work for him/her but I certainly don’t like the lesser of 2 evils concept we’re constantly presented with. Change is going to take a long time. Hopefully, I’ll see some changes in my lifetime but I’m not content to sit on the sidelines and wait for someone else to do it for me. I would never be a viable candidate for any public office so I have to so whatever else I can.</p> *g* Yep, I said I was through with the 2 parties.
