25. Change
I try not to despise anyone. It's not good for the health, mental or physical.

I don't see how a vote for Nader would be a vote for change.

Logic matrix:

If I vote for Bush, I vote for business as usual.
If I vote for Nader, I may be putting Bush in the WH or may not. In any case the vote becomes ineffectual. (No change affected by vote)
If I vote for Kerry/Gep, it may be business as usual, it may be worse than business as usual, it may be better. But it is the only vote that is a vote for change as it is the only vote that can effect the outcome with a possibility of change.

But, your vote is your vote. Nobody ever said voting was logical. Good luck.
