The take-no-prisoners social critic skewers Bush, Ashcroft and the whole damn lot of us for letting despots rule.

It's lucky for George W. Bush that he wasn’t born in an earlier time and somehow stumbled into America’s Constitutional Convention. A man with his views, so depreciative of democratic rule, would have certainly been quickly exiled from the freshly liberated United States by the gaggle of incensed Founders. So muses one of our most controversial social critics and prolific writers, Gore Vida
This is an interesting interview. I like his thinking. Going along with my previous post about eletronic voting, I though that this quote might very well be prescient.
LA Weekly: Speaking of elections, is George W. Bush going to be re-elected next year?Read the whole interview. Very interesting... Permanent link posted by bytehead @ 11/13/2003 08:46:00 PM
Gore: No. At least if there is a fair election, an election that is not electronic. That would be dangerous. We don’t want an election without a paper trail. The makers of the voting machines say no one can look inside of them, because they would reveal trade secrets. What secrets? Isn’t their job to count votes? Or do they get secret messages from Mars? Is the cure for cancer inside the machines? I mean, come on. And all three owners of the companies who make these machines are donors to the Bush administration. Is this not corruption?
