Eric,
I do appreciate your distress over the choice of Bush for President.
Quite frankly I would make goofy demands if my canidate lost. As far as the
accuracy of a hand recount you might say that it is as accurate as the
people counting it are honest. There are way to many variables that could
happen in a hand recount. Machines have done a great job until now. Why
all of the sudden are they so bad. Yet to the ultimate extreme lets just
count the whole country by hand. Because they have to be all wrong to.
As far as my Brickbay store goes regaurdless of party affiliation I have
a great store. My feedback is only the 3rd one to reach 100 positives. So
the code word is just a way for people to get some good deals in a
interesting way. Now lets just agree to disagree and get back to something
we both love and that being the greatest toys ever, Legos
Thanks,
Gerry

| Ok, I'd like to express a few things here. 1. Gerry your original post was in bad taste, have a enough sense to admit it. 2. The first state wide recount was not initiated by The democratic party, it was started as a result of Florida state law. 3. (...) (24 years ago, 17-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
