In fact, that's probably not a bad way to choose a candidate: one who is intelligent, one who is diligent in solving problems, one who uses logic, one who prefers to engage in a dialog, and one who employs legal means. If you're a United States citizen, make your vote count this November 2. Be informed. Think of the country. Think of the world. And vote with your conscience. In the meantime, enjoy this week's words from the world of politics and elections. My name is Anu Garg and I approve of this message.

My junk deleted. Thanks! Oh--JFTR, I wasn't saying I was right; I just caved in to emotion. Not something Anu intended to happen, I feel sure. Sorry.
