I quote my friend Pete Seeger who had this to say about voting. "Those people who don't vote may as well sit in a corner and stick a needle in their arm." Right on, Pete. Too many have lost their lives to defend the right to vote. It's a possession for us to cherish and makes us uniquely American.

What a coincidence that in the Florida butterfly ballot, George Bush's name was unconfusingly put at the very top with a hole right beside it on the right hand side. Baker says a Democrat designed this ballot but I wonder if Jeb had anything to do with it?
