Dear Bill & others. Though I agree with you I must say that this list is not the place to discuss contemporary politics. Please, let's stop it here. Thank you, John >The election was stolen from the people and given to a candidate who by any >count received fewer votes than his opponent. It's a great and >everlasting disgrace to our country, an embarrassment to our standing in >the world. > >It hardly seems a matter for rejoicing.

Hi. I just sent an election message after reading some that came to me. I don't usually speak out on the many things I read on this or other lists, but I find the election happenings very disturbing, not just for who won/lost, but for the damage done to our system. But apologies. .
