"My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?" — David Mitchell

Al Gore got the most votes in the last election, but because of some old rules George Bush was elected. In California three percent of the state signed a petition, and now if Gray Davis gets less than fifty percent of the recall vote he’s out of a job. However, of the hundred-some candidates, if the most any of them get is fifteen percent of the votes then they’re the new governor. How is that right? After the Presidential election the responsible thing to do would have been to ammend the Constitution, but it wasn’t even suggested. As soon as this recall mess is finished California should change the recall rules, but it won’t happen either. I don’t get it — when something is broken it should be fixed, unless it has to do with government, apparently.
