You know, all this shit hit the fan back when I was in Japan,
and the main sentiment I got from people of all bunches of
nationalities (I lived in an international house) was "Who
cares?"  The Aussies in attendence kept saying "Don't you Yanks
have better things to do?"  You know what?  They were right. 
If that wasn't a waste of taxpayer money, I don't know what
is...

Well, I'm a radical socialist (NOT communist), but I can say I
voted for Gore.  I'm damn well tired of Dubya, and so are most
of my international friends (mostly Japanese and German).

Frankly, both candidates sucked.  

But still, it rankles that Gore got the popular vote, and Bush
the electoral.  That makes me angry every time I think of it. 
How can we, the US, call ourselves a proper democracy?  More
like a capitalist pawn....
