While there is plenty about Bush to dislike, the people that harp
on this bug the heck out of me. Bush did not lose by over 500,000 votes,
because there are not 500,000 votes that count for the presidency.
The only votes that count are those of the electoral college. The
fact that the electoral college is controversial and a by product of
a long past time is beside the point. If you don't like it, work
to change it, but don't protest it after the fact when you knew
the rules going into the game.
Also consider that if Al Gore would have just won his home state of TN,
the entire Supreme Court fiasco could have been avoided.
Cheers,
Tanner

This would be a very good time to hang out with the Open Source
people, before they get formally reclassified as a national security
