iZen, You have managed to tickle my fancy by calling Mr. Gates "a modern day colonizer." Whether you like it or not, Bill Gates is a modern day dream of millions of ambitious individuals. If he can "colonize" anything that's cause he was the one who made that possible. What's wrong with him voting for Bush? May be like a lot of us, he went with the best option available. If you are sad that Bush defeated the other candidate, may be you should've paid more attention to the attributes of the candidate you sent to face Bush. I think the paper is being written here Bhangli Damini...are you taking good notes. One more thing, its Bill GateS not Gate... :)
