What’s right and what’s conspiracy
 
-By Ben Shard
    The question has been raised in many minds that there could have been a rig in the system prior to election night. This conspiracy would be claimed as follows:
    Since the politicians knew that when previous butterfly ballots were used causing confusion and exclusion of voters, they could then use this technique once again for Governor Bush’s enhancement. Democrats would not have rigged the system in Bush’s favor.
    If this were the case, the Bush campaign would most likely fight to keep the counts the way they were announced on election night. Like they are doing. Also, the republicans would have an advantage where if the democrats attempted to look into these confusion matters, it would look as though democrats 
were trying to prolong the election and thus be improper to Americans. Like the republicans have claimed. A conspiracy cannot be easy to figure out. There have been no allegations of fraud because there is no tangible evidence yet. The evidence may now be in the past. Detectives would have to look into the matter and thus, we would not know for quite a while, perhaps years, if this indeed were an attempt of voter fraud. The methods being sought by both parties conclude that they both are doing what is necessary for their candidate to win, and that it is really nothing new at all. Manual counting is accepted far and wide, and has been for many, many years. By this analysis, democrats are doing nothing different from what 
they should be doing. On the other hand, republicans are hypocritically arguing that the hand counts are insufficient. If there was an attempt of fraud, it was a smooth and perfect plan to put the spotlight on the people’s confusion rather than the attempt to confuse the people. Why was the butterfly ballot only used in the most heavily democratic county? 
The argument that both parties certified these ballots is irrelevant since both parties were not familiar enough with Florida State laws. Also, democrats may not have been too familiar with previous problem-sparking butterfly ballots, which for all we know could have been suggested for use to the person who assembled them. Decide for yourself.

    Some say yes. children are taught enough from their
parents to conclude the just of

that there is much to be learn-

arguements which are
considered valid.

to determi- ne for himself which party he mostly agrees with.
   Although, most of my friends
don't allow this to happen in
their families, and I don't 
believe that it is fair for the

studying the parties for a good

Putting People First
From libdems@cix.compulink.co.uk

    For too long the British state has been built around the concept of a nation of passive, dependent subjects, rather 
than one of powerful, self-
reliant citizens. Our first and central objective is to give every individual the 
opportunity to improve his or her own life. We want to do
this because we want every person to get the most out of their lives, to fulfil their potential.
    Liberal Democrats believe 
in an inclusive society founded on equal rights and equal opportunities. Inclusivity 
should not mean dull or sterile
uniformity. Conformity is the enemy of liberty. Diversity and dissent are not merely to be tolerated, but should be positively welcomed, as signs

judge but do they have enough facts to produce valid

    The Bush campaign claims that hand recounts are subjective and inaccurate. Previously, Bush made it clear in Texas, by legally allowing hand counts to take place if needed, that these manual counts were the best and most concise way to count votes.
    Anyone may argue that these facts are hypocritical, contradictory and ultimately ludicrous. Bush has come out to say the same thing that all of his campaign members have said all along, that the ballots have been counted, and recounted. What they have refrained from mentioning in their brief comments, is that every time the recount happens, Bush’s lead drops intensively. Which was one of the reasons the media decided to have a hay day with this. Have we all forgotten? I would surely hope the American people are intelligent enough to see the contradiction, which people have tried to squeeze into the popular talk shows. Another issue is the talk shows themselves. Notice how each talk show assembles their criteria of discussion. We are dealing with bi-ist talk shows. A republican talk show allows only so much discussion from democrats. And the same with the democratic talk shows. Look closely and you will see how apparent the favoring of talk shows can be. Americans need real information, not gossip. Choose for yourselves which talk shows are filled with sought information as opposed to pure gossip. Take the O’Riely show for example. Clearly democrats are rarely given opportunities to speak, and when they finally do, suddenly they have to cut to commercial.The bottom line is, Florida law has a provision to allow manual recounts.

Questioning the wealth of leadership
-By Andrea Witts...
    Many have raised the question as to why a candidate must be filthy rich in order to run for office. The answer: because this is America. Our media system, our debate system and our methods of campaigning require lots and lots of money. Nader could have done better if he were to 

have had more money.
    “I think scientists should be considered for candidacy, not rich, closed minded, corrupt, fakers.” As a local teenager 
put it. We kids have grown up noticing the ridiculous nature 
of our country’s politics, and it may be safe to say that deep down, people vote for the lesser of the two evils. The people are seeking a candidate who is as close to earth as 
they are, who understands everyone’s needs, including Chrysler, including the oil

companies, including farmers and agriculturists, and finally, someone who can compromise between the forever battling democrats and republicans. Growing up, many of us are supremely sickened by the quarreling, the name calling, and the bi-ist of party membe-
rs because we all live together in every area of America. Kids do not need to tease or fight each other over the views which they have not been 
given enough time to understand thoroughly. It is 

extremely sad,that when one candidate offers to meet, the other rejects. Again, could this be changed by less wealthy, less “closed- minded” individuals? And if so, how? The children of America will have to take this into account automatically since they have never seen a poor person run and succeed in the presidential race. Unfortunately it will be many years before their voices are heard and applied.
