Susan, I've been at this site off and on for days and as with most things that people care about, often posters get emotional. However, after days of being irritated with Michael and his attitude, I put him on ignore and this board immediately became a better place. While I don't know Michael personally, he verbally attacks people, is overly-critical, and acts as though he knows all about everything. I, for one, am no longer reading his posts. He can sound off to others, criticize the NEA(as if there was NOTHING good about it), and attack public education. I'm a public school teacher who has devoted a large part of my life to teaching and children. I take pride in what I do and feel I make a difference with kids. I don't like to hear someone, who has never been in my class, act like such an expert on the quality of education taking place there. Anyone who makes general statements about a whole sector of a population(teachers, democrats, republicans, etc.) puts me in mind of Hitler and his hatred of a whole race. We're all individuals. We should be looked upon as such. These foolish generalities should be stopped. Best Wishes, Doribee

News just out! The pregnant Chad and the dimpled Chad don't count. The hanging Chad does as does the 3 cornered Chad.

For a national figure like Jesse Jackson to go into Florida with hardly any evidence and claim fraud and hold protests makes him scum. You can disagree and defend his actions all you like. But it's just your sanctimonious opinion talking. You're no more objective than I am. And at least I have the integrity to admit my biased nature. Have you ever wondered how Palm Beach County became the focus point of so much attention even before the polls were closed by the media. Well guess what, there is some evidence which suggests an orchestrated Democratic campaign was begun before the election was complete. And drawing the media into it was part of the plan. Did it ever seem strange to you, that it's such a strong pro Democratic area? If you toss out the ridiculous ("I'm too stupid to figure out a ballot") cry. Many other counties are reporting far more serious problems with the count than Palm County. - There's Volusia County which is now preparing for a full scale hand recount of all the county's 184,018 ballots. - About 26,000 votes in Duval County were disqualified and never counted when voters punched more than one candidate on their ballot, or failed to vote for president. The county is solidly Republican. How difficult do you think it is to stick a solid metal object in a stack of ballots. And further, how likely do you think it is that 10% of the votes were double punched by the citizens?? - There's the issue of Haitians being forced to vote by Democratic thugs in the Miami area. By the way, be careful you don't hurt yourself coming down off that high-horse. I may say a lot of things you find offensive. But I have been on this thread for quite some time sharing information and dialogue. And I've never seen you before. So, before you jump to conclusions about people, I recommend you spend some time reading them first. Today, I happen to be in a bit of a pissy mood because I don't like what I see happening to our national election process. Deal with it or don't. It really doesn't matter much to me.
