John Edwards is the only chance we have to keep from falling further away from our constitution and heritage by fighting the vested interests. If another republican wins the presidency, the rule of law will be so far gone that we may never get it back.
I was talking with a friend from a fortune 100 company who left last year because he didn't want to go along with the program. It seems that the strategy of keeping the company agile was to fire 30% of the people every year. My friend was told that he was too nice a guy to fire the required people. Arguments like how long it took someone to learn the job, a couple of years at least, fell on deaf ears. Notice that the tactics of fear that the republicans have used to destroy our government are now being used in corporations to destroy the corporate culture. Shouldn't there be reason and freedom of speech in our corporations? Not if it is further eroded in our country which rewards those who already have too much.
