<div><br>[snip]<br><br>Interesting. I used to work with Peter Langston. One of the most creative programmers I ever encountered. If he is forwarding it I think it is worth people taking note of it. If one collectively considers the cited example of voter role manipulation, the past district line redrawing games and the recent problem of congressional staffers playing name calling and smear tactic games in Wikipedia [1] then there is a significant segment of the political "corporation" which has really gone over the cliff.
<br><br>On a positive note, I caught part of Charlie Rose's interview with Barack Obama last night discussing his recent book and a variety of political topics. I thought he was very good. Made me feel that there may still be some good, sensible politicians out there.
