In the US, we've got real good at nominating persons who are questionable in both categories for at least the last 3 Presidential elections. There are many Americans who think it is OK to nominate/elect a real turd so long as it pisses the "other side" off, or so long as that turd "checks a box." For at least a few, pissing the other side off is the only qualification necessary. For more than that, checking a box is the only, or most important, qualification. * SLMR 2.1a * I'm heavily armed, easily bored, and off my medication. --- þ Synchronet þ CAPCITY2 * capcity2.synchro.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/Rlogin/HTTP .
