AddReply(311618,"larry - draw conclusions.","aryeh","same hills","05/31/08","bs\"d\nYou can\'t vote, Larry.  Draw conclusions.  It\'s because of people like you who are still willing to go to the ballot box that the system stays alive.  The state is on life support, Larry; not voting, not participating in ALL state-run institutions, is the equivalent of \'pulling the plug\'.  And that\'s all that\'s left to do.  \nWhen 12% of the electorate shows up to vote, the other 88% will have no more doubts regarding the legitimacy of that box on the hill - the Knesset.  Leave it to die, Larry.  There is no hope, and certainly no redemption possible from anyone who lowers himself to sit in that chamber.  Leave it to die.  This is one mercy killing that you can believe in.");

AddReply(311477,"Cute But Irrelevant","Larry","TA","05/30/08","Politics and politics-watching is a sport. It\'s very similar. It\'s like staking bets on a horse race. I did that once at Bay Meadows in San Mateo, south of SF, as a kid. I gave about 10 bucks to my parents to bet and came back a winner. Adrenalin rush.\n\nBut handicapping Barak against Livni against Olmert against Mofaz against Bibi...it is all kind of a waste, after all. And the sport is really only meaningful when you play it. I\'ve watched many hours of pro tennis and I\'ve played tennis, and while both are fun, the latter is more meaningful.\n\nThe same with politics, but neither Meidad nor any of the other mainstay bloggers here have a real idea on how to implement their ideas. Fishman has posters. Ellen has the religious warfare as a distraction, and a position I like. Ms. Meidad had lady pray-ins at Shilo Hill. Tel Shilo? Klein has his analytic cuts and takes, and they are interesting. Wilder has his \'one building at a time in the casbah\' settlement policy, which is certainly action, and is related to politics, but...\n\nSK and Mike are substantially right, in that no matter whom I vote for - if I vote - I get pretty much the same thing. I am pretty close to the opinion that Feiglin is irrelevant. So I can vote for Bibi or make a protest vote by voting for ...Marzel? Someone who can\'t get a single seat.\n\nSK may well be right, it may not matter. Nor do I believe for one second that Bibi won\'t return the Golan, and sell Ellen, the husband, the kids and the neighbors to the murderous Syrians for \'peace.\'\n\nThe system is bankrupt, and neither Meidad, Feiglin, Klein now how to fix it. Although I am interested in hearing more from Klein in his future remarks.");
