Re: US Election and Supreme Court
I have read that both parties expect law suites over this election.  What has our great system of government come to?

This thing? http://www.boltlightningprotection.c...raday_Cage.htm
Problem: The part of the head not protected would allow signals in. On the other hand, same problem with lead hat. Full-body lead/Faraday suit?

Re: US Election and Supreme Court
Narf: Yeah, that thing. It doesn't have to be perfect, just sufficent to protect from the particular thing you are worried about. If the particular things you are worried about are orbital mind control masers, a tin-foil hat with a metallic chin-strap will suffice as long as you remain upright.

Roughly the same as its always been, actually. At least we don't have politicans killing each other off in duels any more.

I'm currently (re)reading "Against a Dark Background" by ain M Banks. It concerns (among other things) the world of Golter, where all government has either broken down or proved inneffectual and a "World Court" has stepped in to take the reins. Lawyers running the entire planet...
Everyone go out and read this book. It's great.
Personally, I'm just glad I'll be able to watch the news soon without watching Bush & Kerry on their "campaign trails". I wish they'd just get it over with, we all know Bush is going stay president, whether he wins or not. |

Re: US Election and Supreme Court
Its going to be an interesting next four years. Lets just pray that we all get to keep our freedoms and rights intact without being taxed or bombed to death.

Re: US Election and Supreme Court
The current discussion reminds me somewhat of a joke I once saw on "That 70s Show". Didn't completely understand it until I gained some familiarity with his advancement.
Mrs Foreman asks her husband why he voted for Gerald Ford.
He replies that no one voted for President Ford. It is the fact that stuff like that happens that I found hilarious.
