These people are focused. After my mother was operated on, she could barely understand what was going on around her. Yet the Senior Citizen political types were telling me on the elevator that they would take her to the polls; they were driven. They knew exactly which side of the ballot to vote. Understand, I voted for Gore. I thought Bush was a poor second in the debates that I watched. That clinched it for me, I was uncertain until I watched him debate. So when I say that I view the Palm Beach issue, with regard to a Twilight Zone type of voting result, I am not trying to mock the election process by saying that Gore did or did not deserve those votes. What I believe is that the vote went the way it went and if people are complaining now that they did not understand then too bad. We have to presume that we are all rational people who make decisions, complicated and simple, each day. If this logic is faulty then the key word is "rational", in which case these people should not be making such history-altering decisions in the first place.
