Best CandidateAmerica needs a poet for president to help the poet in each citizen stay alive. There have been too many bonehead actors power-hungry lawyers peanut-brain governors military moguls & plastic millionaires. We need people who listen to antelope and caribou not just oil executives fixated on what bottom lines do. We need people whose principles aren't up for sale: not Mickey Mouse mannequins mouthing clichés that turn stale. We need people envisioning multi-ethnic peace. And yes - people courageous enough to turn tools of war into mushroom factories! |

| Kris: | Most American presidents are chosen on the basis of good looks, military background, or religious views. |
| Chris: | Yep. Most Americans are so puritanical about sex, yet crass about violence. |
| Tim: | Indeed. I wish it were the other way around. |
