Chomsky on the Election

[arisbe]

"Kerry is sometimes described as 'Bush-lite', which is not inaccurate. But despite the limited differences both domestically and internationally, there are differences. In a system of immense power, small differences can translate into large outcomes."

An endorsement that might not help a great deal, and might even hurt. I am of two minds about it myself. Chomsky is for the welfare state and against the warfare state, and I have lost any ability to tell them apart. Chomsky would want an LBJ without the Vietnam. But Vietnams are what Great Societies do...

What it boils down to for me is this: when we are dealt a hand, we play with it the best we can.

I think at this point buying time is the best we can do, and this is going to inform my choice.

Doesn't mean I'm going to stop plating on the other game boards, though... just means this is my move on this particular one.
