I don't beleive it will be repaired as long as Fairly-Dupree are in office.

Seeker, but you must remember that we live in a democracy (one vote per registered voter). "

I am well aware of that, I have also accepted the fact that a majority of the votes cast on election day will go to Fairly-Dupree.

I just hate to see what has happened to the city in the last four years, it's much like what has happened at USM, and fear what we will see our fair city turn into with four more years of Fairly-Dupree in the mayor's seat.

Seeker, if that happens I guess you will just be a member of the minority. The sky will not fall. My candidates have not won in many local, state, and national elections. But here I am doing just fine. Son, you too will survive, and so will Hattiesburg.

But of the parties you will laugh at may turn out to be "Big Brother." You'd better get off your duffer and vote.

According to The Political Graveyard http://politicalgraveyard.com/bio/larue-latchaw.html, look  who ran as a Libertarian for a U.S. Congressional seat in 1992: 

Lassen, Gregg — of Texas. Libertarian. Candidate for U.S. Representative from Texas 18th District, 1992. Still living as of 1992.

Mr. Lassen switched to the Democratic Party for his political bids while residing in Utah:

Utah

After avoiding a potentially divisive primary challenge from the speaker of the state House, Republican Gov. Michael O. Leavitt will not face major opposition on his way to a third term. Democrats seem excited about Gregg Lassen, a retired energy executive. But Lassen, 40, has lived in the state for only two and a half years. He spent much of his professional life traveling the world in the oil business.

Googler, are you absolutely certain this is the same person who has been mentioned on this board? Either way, how interesting. Given that Libertarians believe in very limited government and Democrats believe in a strong central government, a switch from the former to the latter would seem to be unlikely - unless one has developed an uncanny ability to be rather flexible in the pursuit of his goals. On the other hand, a person with such remarkable flexibility might be a good match for a position in the USM administration.

Absolutely certain.

Someone more clever than I ought to run the chronology.
