It is time people stopped talking about Bush and Gore. The issue here is that a few select voters are being placed above their fellow citizens. Their votes are being counted and recounted and prodded.

Certainly, it is normal for Bush and Gore to care about their respective self interest; But the interest of the Country, and of the State, and of the individual, ought to be that all voters get treated equally...not that their bloody man gets in. If you drop the "all men are created equal" under the law--you have lost everything that separates you from the spilled blood of history.

This is not about Bush or Gore. It is about the teacher in a rural school. It is about a hungry prostitute hooked on crack, but still believing that her or his vote counts. It is about the gas jockey. It is about the mother in the hospital with cancer. It is about the right of everyone to exercise their vote. It is not for Partisan people to determine who gets to have their vote masturbated till it comes across. If four counties get a hand job, they should all get a hand job.

Oh, sorry, pardon my indelicacy. What I mean is: People are equal under the law, or they are not. Putting a candidate's private goals ahead of a voter's equality, is really STUPID. REALLY STUPID.
