Comments:Wikinews interviews Kent Mesplay, Green Party presidential candidate

Great Interview!

I hate to break it to you Kent, but it is a 2 party system. It's nice how optimistic you are about your chances, but I don't really think you could win. When you see the news, which is what everyone watches, all you see is left and right, no center (except for the occasional Ralph Nader mock). Unless one campaign was consumed with scandal and another with some sort of crappy candidate, a 3rd party candidater is merely expressing his freedom of speech. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.233.76.122 (talk) 14:06, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Wikinews interviews Kent Mesplay, Green Party presidential candidate
With unstoppable integrity, one can vote one's conscience and heal the world. With the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelangelo_phenomenon, we can develop each others' integrity until everyone learns to vote their conscience. With mindfulness meditation, one can experience enough personal security to vote one's conscience. With ranked-choice voting (or instant runoff voting), you can vote both your conscience and the lesser evil. One-person one-vote democracy is mob-rule. Watching Democrats and Republicans activates mirror neurons in the brain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_neuron, causing monkey-see-monkey-do. Lemmings follow their newscasters into eternal war and devastation. Dr. Mesplay, what do you think about taxing violence products at 100% to pay the costs of using violence products? That would make violent movie production and weapons manufacturing nonprofit endeavors. That would compensate victims of violence to restore victims to wholeness. The US would still have the strongest defense in the world, but out of the kindness of the volunteers' hearts, not because of profit motive. How would that affect stockpiling weapons and selling them to other countries? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 174.239.2.55 (talk • contribs) 02:47, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
