SOCIAL MEDIA press conference
(replay from Wednesday, March 20th, 2009)

Perhaps I could have more adequately warned Austin's mayorial candidate Lee Leffingwell who I am. However, when ANY political candidate claims s/he is for the people, then I hold it shouldn't matter who I am, or who anybody is. Any candidate running on the platform of "In it for you!" is taking on a platform of being a people's candidate. While America is the only 1st world country without a People's Party we will be better served by avoiding the sociopath Lee Leffingwell.

Am I an extremist for calling a politician a sociopath? Perhaps. A member of Lee's party said I sounded like an extremist when I asked Lee what pragmatic strategic advantage he saw in alienating idealists like me. When he skirted the issue, I said I felt disrespected. I hold that most humanists might consider apologizing for somebody feeling disrespected. So it goes. Obvious to me is that Lee Leffingwell is not a humanist. I therefor suggest he is inappropriately co-opting the good will of a People's Platform. I happen to call people who exploit good-will without respect sociopaths. I am happy to debate this In Public.

My position on ecology is clearly detailed hear. Give me 45 minutes and I'll explain what I see as required to save your planet. In the mean time my personal safety is of paramount importance to me and my incipient wife (i'm getting married 10/10/10).

Why am I compelled to rake a loser like Lee Leffingwell over the coals? Because it is dangerous for me to be labeled an extremist. When it is said that I sound like an extremist at a candidate's party and he nods and continues that candidate is dangerous to me personally. I don't want to be in jail, without bail, labeled as a dangerous extremist.

That's how social media has saved my life before, honest. I can tell you the story if you must hear that story. Here's my assessment of Lee Leffingwell...

Leffingwell = Laughingstock

I happen to agree with Rev. Bob Dobbs that the two greatest misconceptions of the 20th Century is that politicians aren't that smart and that they mean well. Yes, there are good apples in polotics and Lee Laughingstock is not one of them.

There are litigious ramifications to me being labeled an extremist. I ask Jesus what I should do in terms of turning the other cheek. What I hear in my head is that standing by my truth and standing up for what I hold to be true is the backbone required. Some may see my political posts like this that are scattered aROUND the Internet as a form of brand subversion that they have trouble comprehending. My work is not for the intellectually squeamish.

If you want to hear how I am optimistic that Internet Marketing is saving your planet, for real, then please listen hear http://MagicWithoutCards.com
