Re: Abandon Patriotism? Now? You've got to be joking.
Get over 2000? What we should have done then for closure (once the fix was in) was to hunt down Ralph Nader and hang him from a lamp post. Of course, my political prescriptions are suspect--in 1976, when Reagan failed to wrest the Republican nomination from Gerald Ford, I loudly exclaimed "Thank God we've seen the last of *him*!", and I was quite confident up through last month's election that pissed-off Democrats would turn out at the midterm in unprecedented numbers and blacken the junta's eye. Clearly I don't have a firm sense of the Teeming Millions.
