And what would the result of the real elections have been (supposed that all Americans had net access)? Wouldn't it be a nice idea to start a net-president campaign: Whoever wants to be candidate just starts posting articles about his/her political,economical &c. views, and in some months elections will be held? No parties, just private candi- dates. Of course, someone who feels he will loose might propose one of his opponents to be voted. Polls could be held, debates could be arranged, any- thing. Anyone interested? -- Biep. {seismo|decvax|philabs}!mcvax!vu44!botter!klipper!biep I utterly disagree with everything you are saying, but I am prepared to fight myself to death for your right to say it. --Voltaire
