The only winning Presidents I ever legally voted for were Bill Clinton (and I held my nose for that) and Al Gore (and the popular vote was overridden in a coup d'etat by the USSC). It's getting harder and harder to get motivated to flail into the wind. I probably will vote, my post aside. I always take the kids with me to vote. If democracy can survive/recover I want them to be a part of it. But with each successive year the differences between the paltry number of political parties we have here get smaller and smaller. bcnu, Mikem I don't do third world languages. So no, I don't do Java. Edited by mmoffitt Jan. 28, 2004, 04:00:20 PM EST I know that's right. And that is what I've always held. But as I grow older it seems more an exercise in futility.

Post #138,381 by mmoffitt 1/28/04 4:05:17 PM Reply	And that is what I'll likely end up doing. But it makes me ill. To think, a nation state of 300 million and this is the best we can come up with? And this system works? bcnu, Mikem I don't do third world languages. So no, I don't do Java.
