(Goddamned fucked up political system in this country...) I meant statist in the traditional term, ie, The State, not 50-things-we're-going-to-call-states-but-are-really-now-just-regional-provinces-thanks-to-the-federal-power-grab-even-though-they-were-originally-true-states. Not state-rights, but The State.

Agreed on all counts though.

Too bad trying to actually sway people to vote third party results in the old 'wasting your vote' rhubarb.
