The last decade and a half of Indian politics has taught me that all this is indeed true. The only change I'd make is in the first sentence - 'Whoever wins, it would be relatively ok, most places, most of the times'. As for the rest, well while I have accepted it, it is still too dispaasionate a position for me to take during elections. I am always excited from the night preceding the elections until the announcement of results. This is the first time I have ever been excited by a non-Indian election though. :) And on that note, could somebody be kind enough to let me know when the voting starts and when the results are expected, preferably in GMT? Thanks. :) Ritu GCU Waiting For A Kerry Administration _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
