Voting against something is a rational choice, and one that holds just as much conviction as a vote for something. It seems strange that you condemn negative voting, and then espouse the virtues of voting against a decadent corporate government structure.

Secondly, I'm not ignorant of the fact that corporations and interests wield a lot of power. I was quite aware of that when I voted for Kerry. It's simple reality that people with lots of money also have lots of power, and that they use that power to pursue their own interests. Electing a third party (which won't happen anytime soon) won't change that. In my mind, it's naive to think that it will.
