Making false statements won't justify your inability to accept the

To give the benefit of the doubt, he used the wrong term. Bush II
obviously did not have the largest "percentage" cast against him. What
he DID have was the largest actual number of votes cast against a
sitting Pres.

Another fact not likely to have appeared on Fox.

He also had the largest actual number of votes cast *for* a sitting President,
or for any other candidate. [With the possible exception of Ronald Reagan in
1984; I'm not sure of the exact numbers.]

Neither fact should come as much of a surprise to any thinking individual,
given that this election had a higher number of voters than any previous
Presidential election.

Nor should *that* surprise anyone, as the U.S. population is higher now than
at any previous time.

Nor the other damned lie (statistic) on the other networks.

In our ignorance we're regressing to "fundamentalism" of the sort that
rejects all other opinions save the interpretation by our priestly classes.
I for one would rather not have Dean or Michael Moore as my theologian - nor
Dan Rather as my pontiff.

Hope for greater understanding no longer lies in schools, as evidenced by
recent events, because they're more concerned with orthodoxy than education.

Sad but true. Of course, there are always private schools.
