Yea, I too got a chuckle from reading that. Americans are largely complete idiots when it comes to learning from mistakes. We make the same ones over & over & over again, and each time wonder why. Personally, I think the problem is that not enough people vote. If Americans were forced to vote (like in Australia), perhaps the electorate would be more representitive of the population, and more importantly, the candidates would have to change their campaign tactics to reach a broader percentage of the voting age population. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] LlamaLand http://netllama.linux-sxs.org _______________________________________________ [email protected] Unsub/Pause/Etc : http://mail.linux-sxs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general
