Like Pat, gr8ful and others, I've often said on Volconvo that there's something a trifle odd about what happened in Ohio and that the US media & public showed unseemly haste in putting that one behind them (while blasting around the world on the subject of "democracy").

The significant thing about the Rolling Stone article is that it shows the events in Ohio are no longer a taboo subject.

But first things first. Just because the governor of Florida is the president's brother (and their dad used to be pres ... I mean it beggars belief) doesn't mean the facts surrounding the 2000 election should remain taboo.
