Amy, <<<Sweeping generalizations projected onto 49% of the entire population (by either camp) just doesn't interest me. It's not a good basis for a seriously interesting and educational debate. >>> Welcome back. I thoroughly enjoy reading your posts. I have you PeopleMarked and you are always the first posts I read. But, you have to remember, very few people have your intellectual capabilities and even fewer can keep up with you. Don't get discouraged - there is something about suffering fools gladly.... In any case, no one has asked, but I am going to give my opinion on the Presidential elections: There is no doubt that Al Gore won the popular vote. There is also no doubt that Al Gore won Florida - and there is a big if - if you go by the definition the "Will of the people". I believe that the exit polls were accurate in assessing the intent of the voters going into and coming out of the polling booths but that the mechanism for counting and registering the votes were flawed. Having said that however, there is a legal definition of who won in Florida - and by that defintion - (unless something else surfaces) - Gov. Bush appears to have won the election. If the current scenario holds, I believe Al Gore should concede and George W. Bush should accept Gore's concession and acknowledge the circumstances that he won. He should state that he has won on a technicality and state further that it is the only way that a government can function. The sports analogy would be that in baseball, umpires make judgements - although they could be wrong - the judgements are part of the game. The umpires call can be reviewed on tape and be judged wrong - but the decision stand and the outcome of the game is not changed. Baseball officials can than improve the calibre of Umpires for the future - but the decisions made stand. In the same way, we should recognise that voting mechanism are currently flawed and need to be modernised and improved. There is no other way out of this mess. Everyone has to recognise what has happened. Otherwise the emotions and the emotional manipulations are just too expensive for our society. Regards, Mary
