Don't you just love how all the papers have big front-page articles about
what a foolish and dangerous boondoggle this is AFTER THE VOTE!
And here I thought the First Amendment protections governing freedom of the
press were intended to ensure an adequate flow if information for a
participatory democracy ... not tell us what our government expects us to
accept as spectators.
No wonder people don't bother to vote ... <grumble, grumble, whine>
Back to the dioxin again,
