It seems ironic that the political party that claimed to want every Florida vote to count in 2000 now thinks Florida voters no longer matter. In the hectic days following the 2000 election, Democrats were so desperate for votes in Florida they were arguing that under-votes ballots with no presidential candidate selected should be counted as a vote for Al Gore. ...more

This references Dean Johnson's Dec. 6 letter and Billy Raymond's Dec. 15 letter, subject "I agree." Apparently both of these gentlemen are convinced that it does not matter whatever mankind does here on earth, it will not affect the climate or result in global warming, because "God controls the world's temperature, not man.

It should be noted that Mr. Johnson has previously stated he believes that "global warming is the biggest hoax." ...more
