I think I answered my support decision in another thread (Plan A: Kucinich, B: Richardson, C: Edwards, D: Obama).... I voted Kucinich in 2004, and I won't be doing that again. (If we caucused like Iowa or had run-off voting, he'd clearly be my primary choice, but unfortunate voting for a marginal candidate with a straight vote isn't very helpful.)
You're quite right that information comes from many sources, is critically analyzed and then sorted through. In many cases some of the stranger ideas I come across are from people who completely ignorant, simply because that ignorance leads me to uncharted avenues. I would reiterate (or simply iterate, I guess) that my views have very little value to them. When I post news items or links, take them for what it's worth, but my own personal outlook isn't something I intend to pass on (except to my students, but that's largely uninten tional.)
