... no matter who wins. Unless, of course, there is a major political upset and Michael Badnarik comes out on top!!

Two posts on The ChipBoard yesterday and today make it all too clear just how divided we are:

The one by James McFadden ...

... linking the Washington Post ad by George J. Esseff, Jr.:

And the one by Bill Thompson ...

... linking the Hal Crowther op-ed piece:

The authors of these two pieces are barely in the same reality. The opinion of each reflects, I think, the opinions of millions of Americans. Given the current political atmosphere in this country, there isn't the proverbial snowball's chance that this election will unite the country behind either of these men.
