Its a shame duelling is passe.
It's sad to see so many otherwise-careful people calling for "flips of a coin," "hands of poker," and "duels at sunrise."
Even if meant in jest, as a comment on the situation, it undermines the basic issue of law.
It was not an endorsement of anything. In a duel, at least you reduce the number of politicians by half. Even fair and lawful elections doesn't do that.
