As you have told us before Pat, that you have voted for democrats most
your life but now are going to vote your conscience. I too followed
suit this AM and I wrote in John McCain and Colin Powell. Now as we
both know our choices won't change the end results but I do feel much
better following my conscience then choosing the lesser of two very
big evils.

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: I certainly do not expect any
Libertarians to get elected anytime soon. The United States government
isn't set up to allow anything but a centrist candidate to get into
office. Either one that leans a little bit left or one that leans a
little bit right. Those are our only two allowed choices. When I went
to vote yesterday, I stroked the paper ballot with every Libertarian
candidate who was on the ballot. Were there -- Goddess forbid! -- even
a slight chance of a Libertarian candidate getting elected and that
person did get elected, I suspect the Secret Service would arrange to
have the person assassinated his first day in office, if not before.
There is no room for any changes in our system of government, except
one, and they have taken care of that with their bizzare interpretations
of the Second Amendment.

for the work he did on it. PAT]
