Go up one level in this thread


Sometimes your views are harsh and I know in the past you have gotten in trouble
for them.

But your comments are pretty much right coverning the US and the elections. You
may get people in the US thinking that we are bashing their country. And to a
small degree they are right.

But what the people of the US and the rest of the world want, to end this comedy
of world proportions, is for the votes to be counted correcly. Since the machine
cannot seem to do it right, then by hand, in which we have three people all
having to agree that a stupid hole has been punched.

We have bush feeling threatened wanting to do everything in his power to stop
anymore votes being corrected and going to Gore, and we have Gore just wanting
to win.

Don't they know that hand counting could make the results go the other way to
Bush's side. Why is it that all the mistakes are going to help Gore. Unless
something bad was going on and Bush was somehow fixing these machines. Why is he
so threatened. Why cannot we get an accurate count.

This is what is making them look pretty stupid, and seeing both camps bicker at
each other makes me and other lose respect for them each day.

The elections are a joke, I think there have been many mistakes made, and I
think the numbers are off in allot of places. I saw one place that Gore was
easily winning, go to a recount and he was losing badly at the end of it. If
that is the case, what about all these other states, how accurate are they.

I think thought that this should be put in the General Chess forum, and related
to chess in a way that it is playing like a game of chess. That way you can
relate it to chess and thus add it to that forum.
