What's New?

     Welcome to Keep Your Mind Alive. The web site directory is located on the left side of the screen, underneath the picture of this site's charming creator, Danny Crowle. In my 'Essays and Thoughts' area, you'll find, among other musings, the official homepage for my presidential campaign. Watch as I journey around the country, shaking hands and kissing babies along the way in a desperate attempt to appear likable. (On that note, you can catch a glipse at my standings according to an unreliable, imaginary polling company by clicking on this link, or just by scrolling down a bit.) I also have a couple pages dedicated to movie and book recommendations that meet my high standards for excellence in information and entertainment. Feel free to thumb through the archives of 'My Two Cents,' a relatively new feature where, every week, I take a current event, one that the newspapers are reporting on without ever really getting to the point, and explain just what you need to know, without all that crap that gets in the way. (By the way, the current edition of 'My Two Cents' can be found right below this paragraph.) Finally, to get to know a little more about me, check out my 'About the Author' page. It dives deep into the life of this Midwestern teen without going into too much detail of my involvement with that corporate embezzlement scandal during the dot-com frenzy that nearly cost me 20 to 30 years of life among my fellow law-abiding citizens. All I have to say is Thank God for judicial bribes! I'm eager to hear your comments, so please sign my guestbook.*
     If, after taking a look around the site, you still find yourself wondering, "What the hell is this place?", well don't fear. You're not alone! Take a gander at my 'About the Site' page, and that should answer all your questions... or, at least, that question... maybe.

*Understand that I appreciate constructive criticism. That said, I welcome any and all comments in my guestbook. However, if you're just going to out-and-out insult me and my little web site, at least have the balls enough to sign your real name. (And remember, I'm only asking for your first name. Thus, you needn't worry about being identified with any crude, uninformed insults you dish out.) Thank you.

• Enhanced Medicare for All. Publicly funded, privately delivered health care that would be affordable and available to everyone. It would resemble the health care system in Canada, rather than America’s current profit-driven system that’s left 70 million citizens with either no coverage or minimal coverage costing exorbitant amounts of money.
• Full social security benefits for workers at age 65. Retirement years cannot be dependent on the rise and fall of the stock market. With a progressive tax structure and reordered national priorities, Mr. Kucinich would reissue this liberty to America’s working men and women.
• For further aid to the work force, he would withdraw America from NAFTA and the WTO, which has benefited multinational corporations in their search for foreign locations with low wages, low commodity prices, anti-union climates, and relaxed environmental laws. These would be replaced with fair trade agreements.
• Restore our right to privacy by repealing the Patriot Act, which has allowed the Attorney General to eavesdrop on our communications, medical records, library records, and student records without so much as a warrant or probable cause.
• Protect women’s right-to-choose; intensify civil rights enforcement; ensure complete equality for homosexuals; maintain affirmative action; end capital punishment; and defend the rights of workers to organize and bargain collectively.
• Reverse tax cuts that benefit the rich and use that $500 billion to rebuild schools, roads, bridges, ports, and sewage, water, and environmental systems.
• Currently, the government spends a measly 2.9% of its budget on education. Denis Kucinich will increase education spending to decrease class size, increase teachers’ salaries, renovate decaying facilities, increase opportunities for hands-on job training, increase funding for after school activities and programs, and reverse the soaring college costs.
• Enhance homeland security by working with other nations and the U.N., rather than acting like an Empire as President[-elect?] Bush has from day one of his administration.
• Clean up our air, water, and ozone layer by decreasing oil dependence (for real, this time) and adding tax incentives for companies that reduce pollution. Plus consumers will regain the right-to-know about whether their food has been genetically enhanced.
