Kucinich's wife Susan was a researcher for Stephen Zarlenga.  In  
fact, that is how they met.  Love at first sight, evidently.  Since  
Stephen rejects binary economics, chances are the Kucinich's will too.

Kucinich is the only politician where there is the "possibility" of  
his making the right choices.  (I'm not totally convinced that he  
"gets it" entirely.)  But the reality is that people vote for people  
most like themselves.  Intellectual rigor, compassion and courage are  
not how you would describe the average American.  You might get two,  
but seldom all three.  Most people are short-sighted, proud and  
afraid of what they don't understand, and so politicians (of  various  
stripes) represent that unique and limited combination, aka the  
status quo of politically correct.

I have tried to engage Zarlenga in a discussion going back a few  
years ago, but it was as difficult as getting others here to discuss  
binary economics critically.  People say more with their silence than  
they do with their words.  Politics is the realm of True Believers.   
Everybody creates their own propaganda to convince themselves, and  
they want to hear an echo in the faces of others.  I, of course, am a  
madman, nobody wants to agree with me, and I don't really care if  
they do.  As Paine wrote: Time makes more coverts than reason.  We  
are only impatient when we are in error.

Money is not the solution (interest free or not,) money is the  
problem.  The more everyone tries to "make things right," the worse  
they make it.  There is too much love for something that isn't real.

If you overesteem great men,
people become powerless.
If you overvalue possessions,
people begin to steal.

The Master leads
by emptying people's minds
and filling their cores,
by weakening their ambition
and toughening their resolve.
He helps people lose everything
they know, everything they desire,
and creates confusion
in those who think that they know.

Practice not-doing,
and everything will fall into place. - Lao-Tzu

peace,
