No, No, No, No, No!

The system worked just fine! You cannot blame the system for the results. You cannot invalidate the system because they each had savvy PR people pushing all the buttons.

You cannot go pointing fingers at old arrest records and associations with philanderers. I recently heard someone run down a whole list of connections between Gore, that Bhuddist Temple, and a Red Chinese General. My informant was convinced of the truth and didn't seem to notice that there is a whole cadre of reporters out there who would love to get their hands on that story and blow it all over the streets.

Face facts. In this country too few people vote. Of that number fewer still bother to educate themselves. They willingly suck at the same teat their forefathers did. Their "knowledge" of the race is fed to them in 30 second sound bytes and negative attack ads between sexy commercials and vapid TV shows. If a few thousand voters in Florida can't be bothered to read their ballots then they deserve the candidate they voted for. I even know one person who voted for Bush without knowing anything about him except that he was not Gore. She hates Gore for only two reasons. She doesn't like the way he looks and sounds!

We are the victims of apathy. I hope this election wakes up some more people and gets them out to vote. I fear even this won't be enough.

I have heard the rumors of lost ballots and voter fraud that are rising out of this foolish mess. Remember there are plenty of media sharks out there looking for a nice juicy story to make their name with. Rely on them to find out the facts and run the story.
