What irony.
My vote can be thrown out through no fault of my own because my precinct uses machines that work only 98 percent of the time, while my friend in another precinct votes on a machine that is more accurate. And this is not a violation of the equal protection requirement?
On the other hand, if someone tries to manually count my ballot by identifying the hanging chad, this is considered a violation of equal protection because my ballot may not be treated the same as that of some other disenfranchised voter.
The ways of conservative justice are strange indeed.
GREGG WILSON
Providence, R.I.

  Gregg from Rhode Island hit the nail on the head but it didn't drive it into the granite that is the American status quo. I want revolution. Peaceful revolution. The revolution of passive resistance. The Alpha revolution. Revolution that asks the question, "If 'getting something done" is the new Republican goal, what is that "something?" And what is "done?" For that matter, I want to define revolution; then go out and make it happen.     Still, it is easy to procrastinate. That this is the end-play on the Karma residual that Regan-Bush wrought; that created the impeachment; that brought the Gingrich Congress; and tips the arugment against a womans' right to her own body's reproductivity.     Moving before the right time, or too late, will have less than a desired effect. Now is time to wait and see, to learn alternatives and choose a course of action. It is possible that this will heal itself. It is equally possible that it will not. Taking this event too seriously is as wrong as not taking it seriously enough.
