<Let's first acknowledge the hypocrisy of both sides; were the situation transposed, Bush would be arguing for recounts and Gore the reverse...such is sadly a rather profound comment on the character, or absence thereof, of American politics.> Sorry, Mr Powers, but such an assertion of moral symmetry in the absence of proof is absurd. Would you kindly point to a Republican presidential candidate who has contested a close election in court? You can't? Well I can name two who refused to do so, Nixon and Ford. That Gore doesn't measure up to either seems self-evident. I expect George W. Bush would measure up, but I won't ask you to "acknowledge" this, since I have no proof. I would point out that he refused to use his influence as a much younger man to try and beat a DUI, and instead took his medicine like a man. Gore won't, and clearly is NOT the moral equivalent of Bush. On this point I submit that you have no case. It seems to me it is easier to predict the behavior of GOP elephants than of Globalstar Service Provider elephants, although I hope you ultimately can prove me wrong on the latter. Blaine K
