Thomas Locke Hobbs (great name, btw) correctly pointed out that, statistically and probability, if polls now show Gore ahead of Bush in my state I can safely let the electoral college cast its votes while I vote for Nader. My fear below is fueled by my denial that the electoral college really still exists; it seems like such a nasty vestigal leftover of our past. I read Walt Whitman and I crave true democracy.

Thomas created an interesting home page and blog. I especially like his photography of Torres del Paine and the portraits.
