I went to see Frost/Nixon play tonight and after it was over I was surprised to overhear so many
of the audience members discussing election fraud and electronic voting. Most of the audience was over 60 or maybe older but they all seemed to be saying please don't let our system go this way "we like our paper ballots". The play was ok but I think watching the original interview would be just as instructive.

1. Of course, Canada's successful paper ballots
are NEVER discussed here 'down under.' We should be fully informed about how the system works, but BOTH dems and reps (parties) are too comfortable with current mess we've got here.

2. I was at an interview that Nixon did years ago, and the thing I
remember the most was that those of us working had to wear parkas because Nixon wanted the studio to be below 50 degrees. He was totally paranoid about being seen sweating on camera.
