This link shows why Europeans are proud of their health care system. Reduced waiting list! Just shows what happens when government gets involved because it cares about the people! Yes, some of us do do have a lot to learn! news.bbc.co.uk

Michael, The fact that a thief does not actually need the loot they stole, does not make Bush's Supreme Court theft of the election any less of a crime. Regardless, from your article, it is pretty obvious that most of the voters in Florida intended to vote for Gore: The newspaper said the study of 171,908 ballots also found that errors by Democratic voters probably cost former Vice President Al Gore (news - web sites) as many as 25,000 votes, enough to have decisively won Florida and the 2000 election. also: The study found that Gore might have won a narrow victory if lenient standards that counted every mark on a ballot had been used, the newspaper said.

Michael, this article begs for the question to be asked; "if the entire ballot was a "butterfly" ballot, why were people only confused in the presidential race and not in the senate and other races?" According to the article, only 6% of presidential over-vote ballots contained overvotes in other races. Rather than selective confusion, this is more likely indicative of ballot tampering.
