Especially the provision whereby, if none-of-the-above wins, the looser candidates are out! Maybe it would force the candidates to actually show some substance to impress the electorate instead of just the usual smoke-and-mirrors! But the Catch-22 with this is that you'd have to write your Senators and Congressmen and women, elected career politicians, to get the changes done. And speaking of smoke-and-mirrors, Hyla...we all know that RON Reagan got elected because it was "Mourning in America!"

This month's new issue of Vanity Fair has a startling story entitled The Meaning of Timothy McVeigh by Gore Vidal which should be very disturbing to folks who hover on all sides of the political (or apolitical) spectrum. I have to say my jaw hung agape at many of the allegations published by an author of Vidal's reputation and stature. I strongly recommend it to anyone who cares about the erosion of our Constitutional rights. I must say, that now, I really don't know what to think about this USn "gov't" of ours, anymore. The article is titled The Meaning of Timothy McVeigh. Here's the liner and URL for the page (although I'm not sure it's available to read online...at least, I couldn't find a way into it): Most people think they know the full story of Timothy McVeigh's crime and punishment. But Gore Vidal marshals a powerful, unsettling case for a pattern of government concealment and manipulation. Was the Oklahoma City tragedy used to pass anti-terrorism laws that further weaken the Bill of Rights? http://www.subscriberdirect.com/vf/0109/toc.cfm I decided not to start a new McVeigh thread since the original was not too long, and fairly recent.
