     Let the record show that:
- After urging that this election be kept out of the courts,
G.W. Bush filed the first lawsuit
- "I trust the people" G.W. Bush, who wants to return more power
to the states, filed a federal lawsuit to overturn the Florida
Supreme Court
- The first (and thus far the only) mob that invaded a county
office building and intimidated the staff and disrupted the
recount was a Republican mob.  So much for my self-congratulatory
statement that in most other countries election disputes are
settled by mobs in the streets, while in the US it is done with
civil procedures
- Al Gore twice offered to meet with Bush to try to come up
with a resolution without lawsuits or, presumably, mobs.  Bush
refused both times.
     And there is nothing to steal.  The election is a tie
within a few thousandths of a percent.  There is no voting system
in the world that can record voters' intent, and calculate the
results, to that accuracy.  The results of the Florida election,
and the decision on who will be the next president of the US,
will be the functional equivalent of tossing a coin.  All that the
lawsuits, the mobs, and the rest of it can change is whether we
toss a quarter, a dime, or a nickel.

    You obviously don't own much stock.  (Or know any brokers.)
