This would be all good fun if it weren't that Florida decided not only the last US Presidential election but also the de facto leadership of the western world. Its not really that funny or if it is, the joke is on us all, not just the Floridans. I am surprised that so few people seem anxious to take up the point about one's 'race' being recorded on ballot papers. Isn't that in breach of the US Constitution? Doesn't anyone care? If the 'war on terrorism' isn't to protect those freedoms that seemingly no one cares about, how much longer can we expect to retain those freedoms we still do care about? Or is the 'war' really about protecting the right of big business to make money regardless of the rights or the safety of 'ordinary people'?
