I'd say I'm Independent. I usually register as such. I've never
   registered democrat or republican. Heck, I voted for H.Ross
   Perot tongue emoticon It's probably because of the 1980 prez
   election: I was REALLY little... gosh, 7-8 yrs old. And I
   remember this OTHER GUY... they kept calling him Dark Horse or
   something. John Anderson I think. I remember being fascinated by
   the idea of someone who can possibly "topple over the system" (I
   didn't know what 'the system' was ... heck, I still don't REALLY
   know what they were talking about) and other things they talked
   about at the time, just by showing up and being there.

   I don't know if _that's_ the reason or not, but I've never been
   fascinated with overt power. I think real power is simply
   showing up. smile emoticon
