That's great!

I also like the bumper-stickers I've seen which are in the style of red white and blue stars and stripes and say "Anybody Else 2004".

Also, yes, the two-party system is not much of a democracy, especially when the voting system only allows one mututally-exclusive positive vote per position, so even if the choices are two bad party tyrants and one OK independent person, people think they are "wasting their vote" on an independent vote. If you could vote for some, none, or all, then it would be much fairer (people could vote for the OK person AND their least hated tyrant, and the most popular candidate would actually win, instead of the most popular Big Party candidate (or the big party candidate who had supporters in the vote-counting business!)).
