Just couldn't pass this one up.

Neal    
    
Vice Presidential candidate Sen. Joseph   Lieberman
recently asked the question, "What will we tell our children if
every vote is not counted?"
    
Here is the response of one citizen
    
"As a former teacher, I have been concerned about
Joe Lieberman's question, What will we tell our children?"
"What we should, and must, tell our children is that if they fail to
mark the right answer on an exam, or do not fill in the entire test, they
will not get credit for their answers."
    
"Furthermore, if they do it often enough and if they do not ask for
help or read the directions properly, they will fail."
    
"We should also tell them that when they are older and move to
Florida, they must fully read their ballot and remove the entire chad and
not keep an entire nation waiting because of their mistakes."
    
"We must also tell them to read and read well, to  play by the rules
and expect a favorable outcome.  Teaching them to make
excuses for their mistakes has led to a society of victims unable
to take responsibility."
    

"I may disagree with what you have to say , but I shall defend , to the
death, your right to say it." -Voltaire
