And many of his advisors, notably Condoleezza Rice, are more intelligent than anyone working for Gore. The Repubs to watch out for are the Neanderthals in Congress like DeLay and Helms and Lott. But I fear a Gore administration almost as much as I fear a Bush administration - he'd give us ballistic-missile weapons even faster than Bush, for example - and thus I will vote for Nader because I find both of the major-party players so utterly, utterly despicable. But a larger point to remember, Amy, is that elections in the US are demonstration elections, bread-and-circus affairs to make people believe they have democracy. Real democracy is practiced in petition drives and street protests and city council meetings and stuff like that. The rest is rich-folks' window dressing. Loring Wirbel Monument, Colo.
