The only way the privileged can keep their control of the White House is to convince the unprivileged that they may as well just stay home, there ain't no use to go vote. And the only problem I have with that is that I suspect that that's right. With the prospect of choosing between Ray-gun and Fritz facing me, my level of apathy is reaching terminal proportions. Why haven't we had a decent president (or even candidate) since Kennedy? -- Michael Ward, NCAR/SCD UUCP: {hplabs,nbires,brl-bmd,seismo,menlo70,stcvax}!hao!ward BELL: 303-497-1252 USPS: POB 3000, Boulder, CO 80307
