a) Unless Gore or Bush declares themselves Dictator-For-Life, there will be
elections again in 2004, 2008, 2012, ...
b) Unfortunately both major parties seem all too willing to sacrifice civil

opinions is truly coincidental. As TCE's parent company is French (TMM,
Thomson Multimedia), it would be interesting to know what are the opinions
of TMM on some of the subjects covered on cypherpunks...]
