Re: NON PD: Anyone else thought of this parallel?

[KEn Becker <KenBecker@xxxxxxx>]

NOW I want to know what was wrong with the method we used in elementary
school to choose the class officers: We wrote the name and the position of
each candidate, folded it up and dropped in a box, the teacher totalled the
results, and in minutes we had a President, Vice President, Treasurer ( I
don't know why, who had MONEY?) and  Secretary. The best news is, we never
needed a recount, chads were non-existent, computers were not seen in homes
or schools, but everyone had a pencil and paper!  I am getting to the point
where I believe a flip of a coin would be as fair as the results of counting
the votes, but we will have to see how this plays out in real life.   I don't
think we want a President who does not want the job bad enough to fight for
it, do we?  Let's just hope whoever wins is able to heal the wounds fast and
keep this country on the right course!
