<Things never go perfectly.>

Of course they don't. But don't you think that when an election is this close and the
other party is ahead in the popular vote, perfection should be strived for to get as
accurate a vote count as possible in Florida? A lot is at stake. If people truely believe
in the democratic process, then they should have the courage to endure the
democratic process. I don't see anarchy developing. The State of Florida has done the
right thing thus far(and is to be praised for its actions here up to this point) and Palm
Beach County has agreed to do a vote recount by hand starting today. What I do see
is the Bush campaign desperately trying to avoid the pursuit of Truth by getting a court
injunction to prevent a vote recount by hand in Palm Beach county. Why is the Bush
campaign and many Americans so fearful? The process that is taking place right now
does not belittle our system of government; but shows how powerful and great it is.
Sure, there are limitations inherent in all human endeavors (and especially in the
concept of the Infinite), but when we become aware of a Limit, the opportunity
presents itself to go beyond that Limit. This is what I call the courageous human striving
for Perfection and Truth and that is what is required here when the results of this
election have shown ambiguity, possible computer cliches and voter
disenfranchisement."
