Post #143,300 by lincoln 2/25/04 5:15:53 PM Reply	The USA isn't a democracy, Bill Or are you forgetting your Pledge of Allegiance? "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the *REPUBLIC* for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all". We are a REPUBLIC - we elect people to represent us in our government. We are democratic when it comes to the economy - everybody votes with their dollars on which products/services to buy. They decide which ones they believe are the better value for their purchasing effort. lincoln "Windows XP has so many holes in its security that any reasonable user will conclude it was designed by the same German officer who created the prison compound in "Hogan's Heroes." - Andy Ihnatko, Chicago Sun-Times [link\|mailto:bconnors@ev1.net\|contact me]

The scrubbing of the voter roles of "felons" just happened to remove 22,000 eligible democrats from those able to vote. Gore won. He got screwed. Bush is President. Sob.
