On Laura Flanders tonight they will have Walter Mosley.

He seems to believe that the black community should form their own political party.

I don't think I will listen to that part of the program. He has a perfect right to advocate as he wishes. However I guess in my simple mind I just figured that the pure arrogance of this administration during Katrina would stick in some minds.

I guess we women could have our own party as well, because our rights have diminished also. Except I know that if we did that, our rights would be lessened even more.

Trouble is, the Republicans would just laugh their heads off at both groups and go right ahead with their newly strong power taking away more rights of more people.

So he has a right to advocate for that party, I have a right to believe that his remarks about splintering off into even more groups can be harmful.

"If we took the vote into our own hands, we wouldn't have to ask the Democrats for their support--we could demand it. George W. Bush, or whoever takes his place, will send for our representatives to come to his home to discuss his plans. This is because they have not yet figured out how to dispose of the vote in the American political system.

Imagine it. We could actually democratize America by taking power away from the two-party system and handing it over to the people. Other special parties would arise splintering off from the centrist attendants of the rich once we show them the way."

That is just not sinking in. It does not make sense. Sounds like the Republicans will be getting much more power if this happens. A lot more power.

I don't think I will listen to that. And I doubt George Bush would be knocking on the door or sending people to listen as he thinks he will.

Maybe I am missing something, but this is going to hurt us all.

1. My favorite West Hollywood author includes his name in his mysteries,

and I was once considering purchasing Mosely's mysteries. I'm not sure now since I hate to invest time in him.

John Morgan Wilson, my favorite W.H. author of the Benjamin Justice series, has fun mentioning seeing Mosely sitting at some West Hollywood restaurant. He also mentions Christopher Rice.

BTW, Wilson's next edition of the Benjamin Justice series is coming out March 7th--Yeah!!!

2. I am not familiar with him except for that article.

But it does worry me. The DNC is working with that community very hard, more than others have in the past. I can not believe anyone would think that these extreme Republicans have anything to offer.

It just worries me. As I say he has a right to his view.

3. While the DNC is working with this community

our politicians in our party voting for bankruptcy bills and the like does not instill trust in either party.

I disagree with the idea of splintering, but I understand it. Hopefully, they can form their own PACs instead of a 3rd party.
