Well, Mr. "The Glass is Half Empty", we have the "ability" to change
them, whether we organize and make a change is an entirely different
question! Not to mention if we should change them or not...

As I hear it, the newest wrinkle in the Weat Palm Beach election front,
is the snowbirds with homes in both NY & FL were (gasp) voting with
absentee ballots twice! I think they should lock them up,as provided by
the laws of this country (every vote counts! HA!)
