I watched with interest a debate on KUED between two candidates for Congress. I soon realized the format of the program was backward. The Republican and the Democrat were given an hour, and one other third-party representative, ex-cluded from the debate, got two minutes.
We already know the "canned" views of the major parties. Give them the two minutes. Let's hear some fresh ideas from sincere third-party people.
