The time to have done that, was when the Articles of the Confederacy fell flat on its face, and we started over with the Constitution. They could request UN observers, though! :D

Cabs. Both drive the same, but cabs are smaller...

Happen to remember what Corporate offices number was? We may need it...

I'm having billing problems (understatement) with AT&T@home. They are billing our credit card, but they don't seem to know that they are doing it. We've been trying for 2 weeks to get them to look into it, but all they've been able to do, is tell us why they can't do anything. They claim...

I am rather happy that the only battles happening here, are between lawyers! :)

I just listened to an interesting Talk of the Nation show, that talked about hanging chads (punched through, but holding on in one spot), swinging-door chads (punched through but hanging on by two spots), pregnant chads, and dimpled chads, and how hanging and swing-door chads can be in the...

"Who are we to decide that the electoral college is a "flawed" system?" We are The People (as in "we the people..."), we can elect representatives, write to our representatives, pointing out that communications and technology are light-years from what the founding...

Ooh! Let's start up an "ècrive en Français" class on this thread, so we can all learn to read and write "en Français"! Parlez-vous Français?

While the ballot was made public, I don't think the machine to put it in was mailed out too, and that seems to be where the problem was; you put the ballot in the doohikey, and, rushed for time (they only had five minutes to work through all the elections/initiatives), it was way too easy to...

With the statistical margins for the accuracy of the vote count (different counts get different numbers), this is basically a dead-even split. The number of thrown out ballots is many times greater than the difference between Bush and Gore. And Oregon is still undecided too?

To be fair, the player models are crouching to present a smaller target, just like in real life. The skin on the L337 crew is lousy, as well as the VIP. Aside from that and the new weapons, I think it's ok. It just takes a while to grow on one (like moss)

It's not easy being green... :D

He was alive when the campaign started. Their plane went down not too far from where I live, a few weeks ago, on their way to a campaign stop. Ashcroft didn't have a chance after Mel Carnahan's widow agreed that if Mel was elected, the Governor would appoint her to the Senate. Sympathy...

My AT&T@home connection has been flaky for several weeks, with the 5th hop in tracert occasionally becoming incommunicado for periods of 10 seconds to an hour or more, and the latency climbs to 28.8 modem levels in the evening (though they're finally starting to get a handle on that). I've...

I'm kinda new to these boards and don't know folks well yet, but I'll be praying for you too.
