Ah, morality is written in books, they just read the wrong ones*.
Laoze writes: "The military is a source of violence, the wise man
therefore does not join it". Or (as last sentence of a downhill road)
"When a country is in chaos, loyalty and patriotism arise".
To the exit polls, that's what's on Michael Moore's site (he's up again,
at last):
http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/index.php?id=284:
"Exit Polls are almost never wrong," Morris wrote. "They eliminate the
two major potential fallacies in survey research by correctly
separating actual voters from those who pretend they will cast ballots
but never do and by substituting actual observation for guesswork in
judging the relative turnout of different parts of the state."
He added: "So, according to ABC-TVs exit polls, for example, Kerry was
slated to carry Florida, Ohio, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada, and Iowa,
all of which Bush carried. The only swing state the network had going
to Bush was West Virginia, which the president won by 10 points."
So Bush again has to deal with the same problem as last term, this year
worse than ever: Kerry apparently won by a landslide, and Bush and his
gang stole the votes. He couldn't steal the exit polls, though.
*) and there the wrong parts: it seems to me that all those people in
Jesusland read only Moses, but don't read Jesus. You know: Moses is the
guy with Alzheimer disease who's holding up his gun, and saying "out of
my cold, dead hands" ;-). Serious: Moses is the guy where you can read
"slaughter the palestinians" and "kill the gays". Jesus is the one
where you can read "love your enemy".
