Technology: Friend or Foe?
Do the people of this country not read the news because they follow W's lead so closely they believe the Bible is the only news they need? If they read the news, they would know the following, which was printed today in the Christian Science Monitor (www.csmonitor.com):

• In Ohio, the state election commission has voted to allow a recount - and the Green and Libertarian parties have promised to fund it.
• In Texas, poll workers had to ship an electronic ballot box to Canada to "unfreeze" a file of votes.
• In Montana, control of the house still hangs in the balance, with a mere 2,000-vote margin now being debated and recounted.
• In Iowa, a poll supervisor had to drive hundreds of miles to find a working counting machine. Worse, the state didn't accept a federal absentee ballot for military personnel, which meant that some Iowans fighting in Iraq were not able to vote.
• And in Florida's Broward County, among other places, some voters said that when they voted for Sen. John Kerry, President Bush appeared on the screen instead. Yet charges that Mr. Bush simply couldn't have won in some areas were dispelled by media research showing that many of those who were expected to vote Democratic actually chose Bush.

The election was over a MONTH AGO. Wakey wakey - eggs and bakey!

Blind faith is the name of the game in this country. As we put blind faith in religion, we also put blind faith in technology. A healthy amount of skepticism is great in both areas to ensure progress for out great nation.

The night is short so I shall not descend into a diatribe as to why healthy skepticism for an imbecile raised by Pappy and Thyroid Mary is extremely important.
