I strongly agree with Derek that Democracy doesn't exist in America. The facts also show the current administration has so badly defrauded the population that I'm finally convinced that we have to vote in order to change things. The point of my original post was that we need to vote. We cannot be conscientous objectors because it will not change things, only make it worse. I am thankful that many have contributed information about how this was a primary, and that Republicans didn't have much cause to vote. I just assumed they would, because I saw some of the vote tallies including Republican votes. The numbers do add up to a record turnout. I hope that participation in the political process continues to grow rapidly. It seems that Howard Dean has leveraged the power of the internet to bring people back into the process. However, (and I'm really not looking for flames) I can't for the life of me understand why people still would vote for George Bush / Republican after 9/11 -- FREePHILE We are 'Open' for Business Free and Open Source Software http://www.freephile.com (978) 270-2425 There *__is* no such thing as a civil engineer.
