Jon.
PS: Ok I admit it, I did vote for Ross Perot ;-)


I see it as sending both parties a signal that there's someone out
here in the hinterlands who's not impressed nor pleased with them.
Unfortunately, I doubt if they care enough to even snicker at those of
us who don't vote major party. I tend to vote Libertarian or
Grassroots, as I like their platforms of individual liberty.

I considered voting for Perot. Can't recall why I didn't. I didn't
vote for Nader and haven't even considered doing so for a long time.
