Holy cow!
Read this:
Was the 2004 Election Stolen? (written by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Rolling Stone)
Stunning. The sad thing is that I'm sure that not a single Bush supporter - or even a non-aligned one - will ever believe it, despite the voluminous evidence (this is one of the most thoroughly-sourced articles I've ever seen online). And what's worse, I'd bet that even most Democrats would refuse to believe it.
If it's true, the American systems of voting and governance are so hopelessly corrupted that I for one see no way for them to be repaired short of widespread revolution.
On an unrelated note, I assume everyone has seen the articles today about the Justice Department asking Internet carriers to allow them to monitor all internet activity, including email and web searches? And to store that information for at least two years?
Better watch where you're surfing, because according to the reports, they started by claiming that they needed that info to fight terrorists...and almost immediately morphed that reason into fighting child pornography, and then crime of all sorts.
