In today's Word, he says:
The word election comes from the Indo-European root leg- (to choose) that is also the source of such words as intelligent, diligent, logic, dialog, and legal. 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.

With all respect and love to you, my friend Jackie, I don't think it's a good idea to discuss politics on this board. But I'll be happy to discuss the word "ass"!

Y'all convinced me. 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.

Who knew that Anu (if there really IS an Anu) had such a sense of humour!? Excellent.
