Why is this being posted on TFUG? Remember what that acronym
means... Free Unix Group ---- Tucson

<soap box about this stuff in general>
I for one, am more-than-satisfied with the deluge of the
stir-the-pot political posts finding their way into nearly
every topic of discussion on the Internet. digg and reddit
are pwned by frequemtly frantic, hysterical links. If the
goal is to generate angst and discontent, it may be working.

People seem to have a lot of time to spend in this
direction. What agendas or motivation are we dealing with
here? -- idealism? grass roots obsession? well intentioned
activism? religoius fanaticism? professional activism?
guerrila public relations? organized politics? corporate
manipulation? </soap box about this stuff in general>

Juicy details... posted presumably by one with a CA area
code. Pittsburg?

Why aren't the Democrats making a big stink about the stated
irregularities? The claims won't start to be credible until
then.

Maybe Jimmy Carter will ask the UN to oversee US elections.
Then the USA can begin to emulate the UN's vast track record
of integrity.

Back to the topic of being off-topic, my recommendation is
that this kind of crap, *whether it's true or not* could
posted on the TFUG flames list so as to receive appropriate
consideration from the group.
