Victory!!!

At last, my friends, this is a moment to rejoice, although I am hours late, I have gotten the knowledge that the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" Policy has been repealed.

For those of you who don't know, DADT is a military policy that obligates homossexuals to conceal their sexual orientation in order to serve their country, and if they show it they get fired, without having commited any perjury or broken any technical military policy.

Now, I am still an anarchist, and still anti-army, or just armed organization of humanity against another group of humans. But still, the concept of countries and nationalistic nature of one's being for being part of a region with a specific culture and language and behaviour of the people, gives them the option to serve and defend their country, but these people, are at least now allowed, and their ideologies were formed, and as much as it pains, I think the government deserves a salute for making this small, yet important step towards the development of humanity. Hope exists for everyone.

Strange little thing.

Love.

In the close, standar definition, it is a mutual feeling that occurs between two people of opposite genders, or even between same genders, depends on what kind of physical odors you react to.

But it's ways of happening are many.

In my case...It happened in a few days. I think it's good that we were able to relate so closely in a matter of days, for we have much to discover more of ourselves through the relationship.

I can't really explain much of all this...but it's great, it's grand, I feel great, and I cannot ask for better.

Sorry for this little, useless, post.

"Ice Needle"
Forever in love.

Researching Politics: Indepedent Politicians: Questions for Political Scientists.

Recently, I have been interested in the study of political parties and their ideologies, and I have been interested of how their resolutions would contribute to their supporters' needs and beliefs. Some of these political parties are based mostly on religious beliefs, others just base themselves on human rights.

So here is, what I researched.

I first searched the independent politicians, such as Ralph Nader, an attorney, author, lecturer, political activist, and four-time candidate for the President of the United States in 2004 and 2008. He also had a run as a green party candidate in 1996 and 2000.

I am seeing here, in wikipedia, yes, wikipedia, because I know no other sources of information and this is the one I use the most; in 1971 he co-founded the NGO Public Citizen, he spent most of his career in the 70's educating the majority of people about ecology, in 2007 he gave a speech on the anti-war protest in September.
He is also for gay-rights and he has a negative view on the DADT(Don't ask Don't Tell) policy.

However, as an anarchist, I don't think I need to support this man, but so far his views have been generally good.

On to the questions:

Question 1: What do indepedent politicians base their beliefs on?
Question 2: Is it usual for indepedant politicians to lean towards a political party if they identify with the general beliefs?
Question 3: What is the percentage of the american population that is independent?

P.S: I know that there are some criticisms towards Ralph Nader, such as he being part of the green party and be more worried about safety of driving instead of eco-friendly cars, and also him being a hypocrite and anti-female.
