lets spend the reform party's money

[Guest guest]

If anyone follows third party politics, the Reform Party which will actually

have lots of money ($25,000,000) to spend this fall, has an interesting

nomination challenge of some relevance to our profession. Most people

might think of the Reform Party as anti-China in some respects. They

have been strong opponents of normal trade relations, for example.

Pat Buchanan, the former Nixon speechwriter and CNN Pundit is the most

well known candidate. Many people do not even know he is being opposed

by a fellow named John Hagelin of the Natural Law Party. Don't let

the name scare you; if you read the Natural Law materials, the natural

law Hagelin refers to sounds a lot like the Tao or maybe the self-organizing

forces described in chaos theory and systems biology.

Let me digress to say that I am NOT endorsing Hagelin.

I also do not believe he has any chance of winning the actual election.

However, if he is elected Reform Party candidate, some of his positions

will get a national audience. Historically, third parties usually

have their greatest influence in framing debate at the center. So

what is interesting about Hagelin? Well, its no coincidence that

his natural law sounds like the Tao. He is a quantum physicist by

training who has also been a long advocate of meditation and herbal medicine.

Not only does Hagelin see the importance of making natural medicine the

centerpiece of any healthcare reform, but he actually understands the difference

between merely allopathic styles of herbology and truly holistic medicine.

This is because he is very well versed in Ayurveda and yoga.

Anyway, if you'd like to see the part of your tax dollars that go to

the Reform Party be used to promote holistic preventive herbal medicine,

renewable energy sources, progressive education programs that include learning

internal mental disciplines and proper fitness, etc. You can register

to vote in the Reform primary today. Today is the last day!

Let's force George and Al and even Ralph to talk about issues that matter

to us. Register at: http://www.reasontovote.com/request.html

Personally, I rather not see a dime go to Pat Buchanan this summer.

I don't want my money spent on veiled neo-nazi ravings. But you should

also check out the dope on Hagelin himself before actually voting at http://www.reasontovote.com/hagelin.html

Not all of his positions would be acceptable to all. And I'm sure

there's some voters out there who make or break a candidate on a single

issue of extreme importance. Once again, this is not an endorsement.

Admittedly, I actually can't make up mind about whether to vote third party

at all until I see late fall polling.
