I read an article from The Atlantic magazine, and feel like pointing you to it. This may be deprecated as merely another link to an outside source. I submit it anyway; I'll try to explain why.
The Atlantic was founded, long ago, by a number of people who liked to write. They included "Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, James Russell Lowell (and) Oliver Wendell Holmes".
The Atlantic is considered politically left of center, at the least.
There are many readers and writers here; it's easy to assume many have already seen the article. So, why do I point to this?
Closing The Book On The Bush Legacy
Why should I take up your time with this? Sometimes it's important to speak up.
A media-controlled two-party system is only one party away from a one-party system.
Speaking up is practically more important than voting.
