buddy,

I’ve never heard it stated so plainly. “Rule or ruin.” I salute your clarity.

I do feel that Albert Gore jr’s recount strategy innovation is the most mischievous development in recent American political history. My first blush reaction on 9/11 was that Osama was emboldened by the Florida recount crisis to strike at our moment of greatest vulnerability. I have since been mostly satisfied that the plan far preceded butterfly ballots.
