Did you catch "The Jesus factor", last night on frontline?  Interesting study in classic propaganda, manipulating religious symbolism to justify the us or them mentality and to align our "cause" with the will of God.  Typical.

I think that's part of the issue, Chris. People figure it makes no
difference who they vote for, so a random selection, i.e.,
"eenie-meenie-miney-mo" seems as good a way of selecting the talking heads
as any! Lesser of two evils? What we got was the evil of two lessers!

Just want to point out that statistically speaking a 50/50 split can only be
achieved via random processes.  Interpreted as meaning that our current
electoral process (for whatever reason) causes people to vote in a random
fashion.  If this becomes a trend, as opposed to a one time event, we then
will have real evidence of a system wide failure.  In the meantime I'll be
out photographing the NYC subway system.

Paul--

What's even more wonderful is knowing that Canadians know more about our
political system than we do! That's probably why we continue to elect idiots
to the presidency, and to practically every other office in the land. No one
here has a clue as to what is really going on!

Actually that's quite interesting. According to your government 50,456,002
people voted for Bush and 50,999,897 voted for Gore.

Isn't democracy wonderful!
