I'm afraid we have succumbed to television and "instant" news. 
The people are wanting their news faster, now that they have this medium
and their lives are spinning faster and faster.  Soon, they'll want the
news BEFORE it happens.  We have electronic voting here, but I wish we
could return to yesteryear (special thanks to Fran Striker for that word)
and write-in voting.  That, at least, would give me a chance to vote for
whomever I wanted and not who spent the most money to get to be the choice
of their party.
 
That may sound cynical to some, but it is how I feel.
 
BA> And we should continue this - if you want to - somewhere else.
 
Probably a good idea, since I almost broke my own rule.  (-:
