It is depressing to think that 60% of all Americans don't feel that it
makes a difference who they vote for. The political climate is so
poisoned (it is even reflected in a few replies found in this
newsgroup) that US citizens are becoming more and more alienated by
the political parties and politicians. The result is that the majority
of remaining voters go to the polls just to choose the lesser of two
evils in the hope that they won't be screwed by them.
