yeah, i blame the events of november 2000 on the american electoral system, which makes it quite possible for fraud to take place; the power structure in the state of florida; more specifically, the 'pat robertson' butterfly ballots in west palm beach; the supreme court; and ralph nader and the greens. i admit to it. i'm not bitter about it any longer, and i got tired of debating it back in january of 2001, but i'm not going to apologize for my judgement.
