    Following a major terrorist attack in late October 2004 the Bush Administration will suspend the Constitution and postpone the presidential elections to November 2008. The Supreme Court, taking into consideration General "We don't do body counts" Tommy Frank's admonition that such an attack will cause "our population to question our own Constitution and to begin to militarize our country in order to avoid a repeat of another mass, casualty-producing event. Which in fact then begins to unravel the fabric of our Constitution," will uphold the suspension.

    I hope that Cisco didn't patent this as we all know that patents are evil. They should allow others to copy their design freely even though it costed them 500 million dollars.
