    "(This is) not the work of a wise man, but only a player and a scribe with a dangerous gambling habit. ... That is a risky mix that will sooner or later lead you to cross the wrong wires and get shocked, or even burned to a cinder. On some days you will be lucky and only break your fingers and make a fool of yourself. But luck is a very thin wire between survival and disaster, and not many people can keep their balance on it.

    I hope you are never faced with eye-witness testimony in a court of law as the only evidence against you. The human eye is open to human interruptation, the machines are impartial.

    The Florida Supreme Court are all liberals, and the Federal Courts in Florida were all Clinton appointees. Fuck the courst, have a re-vote = with the sudden urgency in the my vote matters the other 90 million Americans that didn't bother would decide the election.
