>The point I was making was that each County has the responsibility to make sure their voting machinery is NOT "outdated" (to quote Mr. Gore)...and since these 4 Counties seem to be among the wealthiest in the State, surely their tax base must reflect that....so there would be no excuse for the (again, I quote: "old and cheap, outdated machinery is usually found in areas with populations that are of lower income, minorities, seniors on fixed incomes," Gore said.)< Citizen Gore is a Truth-challenged individual. He is represented by even worse, like Bill Daley, who is a Truth-averse Individual, and Alan Dirshowitz, the Truth-destroyer who represented O.J. Citizen Gore hired the Rev. Jesse Jackson to go to Palm Beach and whip up the maids of the Kennedys to riot over the kind of ballot that Bill Daley always uses in Chicago. They be one heap Evil M-F!

You may be a bit lost here, but you ask: WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU REMEMBER ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD SENDING THE UNITED STATES AID? First of all, what do you call the current account deficit? Do you even have a clue what this is? Do you? Are you actually suggesting that a country running a current account deficit is receiving foreign aid? I do know my economics and that is the first time I have ever heard that ridiculous assertion. Are you suggesting China, which runs a large current account surplus with the U.S. is providing us with aid? You think they sell us those goods to benefit us? You think they invest their trade dollars here because they pity us, not because they seek high returns? I am puzzled. You may have no clear understanding of national capital accounts, BIS settlements, and the Eurodollar market. You certainly give no indication that you have a clue. When I hear that you can at least define these terms and institutions, then we might be able to move this discussion forward. In the meantime, all I can say is that I'm glad the world's future isn't in your hands. How do you jump from national capital accounts to International Settlements to the Eurodollar market. You do know that the Eurodollar market is an interest rate market and not a currency market don't you? If you do, why are you including it in this discussion of the CAD? It's a non sequitur, if you ask me. Please explain this bizarre, IMO, line of reasoning.
