Found this on a political board that I frequent. If actually said, Kucinich sounds like a total nutter.

Shamanism is full of crazy people that actually believe the world could be a nice peaceful place to live one day. It must be realized the beliefs mentioned above may not be "mainstream", but are rooted in many religions and spiritual practice dating back to pre-history.
The invokation of the elements, a concept of oneness with divinity, the practice of creativity to proliferate spirituality, the idea of natural magic, and a metaphoric oral tradition are all elements of shamanic spiritual practice. From what I recall, Jerry Brown was a drugged out liberal politician. If he is a shaman I am unaware. Regardless I would be careful of disrespecting peoples religious or spiritual beliefs, that can only turn out bad!

HolyWarrior - my family are all practicing pagans. While I may not agree with their beliefs, I don't appreciate them being called nutters. Please think before denigrating someone's religion. If I'd said that about Christianity (which I wouldn't, although I don't agree with those beliefs either) I'd have been jumped on by half of IW by now.

This Kucinich guy is a bit of a flake. If he's the congressman who wants to start a department of peace that is.
