Does anybody else feel the need to just bar the state of Florida from voting? Does anybody think that Bush is going to be re-elected, just because you know he's going to start Armageddon? Where is Bush's version of Lee Harvey Oswald?

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>This is the whole "culture of fear" mentality again. Anyone who knows anything about computers knows you can easily back up the data regularly on a safe, offsite location and be able to recover all of the necessary data. How the hell do people think the Royal Bank was running in 6 min after 9/11?</div>

Keyword: CAN. The problem is that they DIDN'T have backups until after the crash, as if backups was just a mere afterthought. This new electronic voting fad really scares me, because I use computers every day.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Hell, you could set up a website to vote. If $10 billion in transactions can go over the Internet each year (and growing exponentially) with relatively little fraud, you can surely find a way to make online ballot voting feasible....and next year, not in the next decade or two. It can't be that freakin' hard. But, you get all those people who know nothing about how the computer system works and think that it's impossible to keep the integrity of the data. Somehow, i doubt so many companies would invest so many billions into the Internet if they can't keep the integrity of the data...</div>
