I think I mentioned that I have not voted Republican or Democrat in the U.S. presidential elections because I believe our system needs a major change from the current two-headed one party system (yes, I know that Ralph Nader has not been the most viable alternative but I went with him, anyway). Interesting that the same idea is floating on at least one foreign website:

No matter who has served in the Oval Office, I have supported that person because the person was sworn in to protect the interests of the country in which I live. Despite one resignation and one blue dress the U.S. presidents have been all right, fitting as they do into the whole democratic republic picture I was raised to believe in.
Where is the future headed? Depends on how we see our place in the world, I guess:
