My position?   First elect Obama president preferably with Clinton as the 
veep and preferably elected by a landslide.

When the economy tanks and the food and energy crises become acute, people 
may finally see that it isn't which platitude spouting clown you put in the 
White House that makes a difference, it isn't changing the way you change the 
changes, rather it is ... something else.  But the first step is to realize it 
isn't that.

Ron Paul is a step in the right direction, but as long as people are 
vehemently for or against (I don't think anyone is vehemently FOR McCain at any rate) 
the glib, articulate, spouter of platitudes, the necessity or even the 
existence of that step is beyond the vision of most of our countrymen.

Yet ... even Ron Paul doesn't realize that we must be led out of the exurb 
and suburb society where our backsides are permanently contoured to fit a car 
seat, a society that can only ask where the next gallon of fuel is coming from 
or the next vehicle that doesn't need that fuel.   

The pain will have to be turned up higher before anyone is going to listen.
