That is so true...diversity is what you find in the city.

The problem is, in this election Gore would have won Florida if the 19,000
ballots that double voted hadn't been thrown out.  He would have won Florida
if the the Palm County, which is predominately Democratic, the voters hadn't
got confused with the ballots and voted for Buchanan.  I saw a bar graph of
the Buchanan voting county by county in Florida.  The bars came out and bit
as you went down then suddenly with Palm County they shot out.  Bush doesn't
deserve to win this election!  If he did I'd back him all the way, but he's
not my President.
