      Please have a discussion about why we don't have a simple system of one vote per one citizen. A new book, "GAMING THE VOTE: Why Elections Aren't Fair and What We Can Do About It" by William Poundstone reviewed in the NY Times, 20 March, 2008 may be one answer. For me, an unacceptable answer is that states and parties should determine how they want to have elections. Thank you, BC

      This discussion is remarkable for its prescience, in particular John Miller's assessment.

      I can't believe the quote after Bergen had said 'Bin Laden won't strike in the US, it's too hard a target' and then Miller says 'I'd be very careful...he might then turn to American targets in the mainland, corporate symbols...'!
