Dick,

You talk about a lack of ethics with Bush, but Clinton did an
unbelieveable lowering of standards for the President of the USA. Also,
"majority" is a funny type of definition. Who else took the Presidency
without a "majority" vote in the not too distant past? (I don't need a
response to the questions!!!) How about taking this whole discussion
someplace other than this list! While somewhat understandable, this
whole "World Trade Crash discussion is Off Topic for THIS list!!!
