So, bottom line: If 40% of the electorate is going to vote no matter what for the Republicans and their new brand of evil (PNAC), and 40% of the electorate is going to vote no matter what for the Democrats and their same old brand of evil, then according to him (the writer) or you (the poster), what recourse does that leave? --- Viva La Revolution! The optimal solition is to minimize the amount of evil (PNAC, Palladium), and Maximize the amount of non-evil. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
