I'm no dummy. I found out four years ago that Election Day is the day all of the crazy fanatics come out and stand by the road and wave their signs at you and yell at your car as you drive by. I kept getting the overwhelming urge to run one over so I decided to stay home this election day. I didn't want a huge dent in the Super Mini Van made by some crazy fanatic sign holder who wouldn't stop screaming at me.<BR/>I do have three questions though that I hope you can help me with, Brian Dear:<BR/>1. Why do you need to have elections at all? Isn't the Queen the end all be all? If you have the royal family running things, who is being elected for what?<BR/>2. Is there any way you all could just come and "collect" Posh but leave Becks here. I kind of like to look at him. But when I look at her it makes me want to hit someone with my supermini van.<BR/>3.
