Could the clichés of the 2000 election be any more maddeningly assinine than a hundred thousand repititions of "our bridge to the twenty-first century"? --seed

I think you're right seed.......alas, I am without hope. I think it was Oppenheimer who said that an optimist believes this to be the best of all worlds and a is SURE of it.

Yours in both the Iroinic and Moronic,
