FWIW, I don't think most Republicans are bigots, and I don't like the monetary corruption that goes on in any part of the government. Disliking Bush doesn't necessitate being a CLintonite. In fact, given a chance, I would have voted for McCain. I'm Green Party. Big corporations pretty much buy the government's cooperation with their wants and needs. But the Democrats at least sometimes try to pay attention to the needs of individuals as well. Most modern Republicans seem willing to go back to the late 1800s, when Big Money owned entire towns and food poisoning was a constant threat. I'm also starting a small business. I wondered if this would change my political views when I realized that I'm still labour. I'm just cutting out the middle man, which is management. I think I'll be as resistant to plutocracy in 5 years time. OB7: Avon would be pro-plutocracy. Vila has very individualized ideas about money that would stay in effect regardless of the political system. Jenna, aas a smuggler, probably prefers free enterprise in a small-business oriented system. The others?
