Here we go! Another democracy is doomed because of the stupidity of itīs people... ;-))
Democracy is great, itīs just the people who are too dumb to read/follow the instructions...
btw., thereīs alot of law suits filed because of "wrong" elections over here too. Nobody cares however. Maybe if two candidates for Bundeskanzler wil be as close as Bush and Gore, weīll have a similar fuzz over here in Germany.
