In a democracy people have a right to dissent. Reasoned opposition to the policies of the government does not constitute hate. What amounts to hate is spreading lies, and resorting to a smear campaign. In any case, it appears that Bush won this election, and at last, legitimately. But I will continue to oppose his policies as long as they remain radically tilted to the right. Cheers, Santosh
