Why is everybody 'voting'? There 'is' no vote. There was an 'announement' of what 'will' be done. You may 'agree', or 'disagree', or 'comment'. But vote? I would hate to burst anyone's bubble, here, ( <--- A LIE! ), but I get enough illusory 'choices' in the 'real' world to fulfill my need for self-deception. I choose between the Republican Hitler and the Democratic Hitler. I choose between driving the 'red' piece-of-junk and the 'blue' piece- of-junk. I choose between the white sand in the Vaseline or the black sand in the Vaseline. If you feel the need for some illusory sense of control over what has already been decided, then, by all means, forward your votes to /dev/null. Toto
