Lanier, I believe EVERY vote should be counted, especially those of the military absentees and although I really would prefer Gore to be president, if Bush gets the vote after the counting is done ACCURATELY, the Presidency should be his! I don't mind the jokes at Florida's expense, but I know too many young, intelligent and concerned people who voted in Palm Beach County, who either knew immediately or soon after they voted, that they had voted for Buchanan by mistake! Also, many of the elderly KNEW they were having a problem, but could not get help or figured "one vote won't matter" I had a 102 fever and I went to vote, so it's sad to think that other people lost the vote due to defective ballots and equipment. I would like closure as much as anyone, but we should be proud that we live in a country where an individual's vote is worth fighting arguing or even suing for! The only way I would be ashamed of my (adopted) home state, would be if we just gave up our vote without a good fight! When the dust is settled, I believe we will end up with modern voting machinery and a new respect for the value of each vote! Meanwhile, keep the jokes, songs and cartoons coming, most of them ARE very funny! :-) Ken "glad my name's not CHAD!"
