Thank you for your comments, David. After hearing your commentary on the creation of `Triage` I get the impression that there should never be any shame in stating your case. People around us might disagree, but why bother talking if we'll all act like sisters in agreement? As Michael Moore said at the Nader convention, after today we'll all have to make the best of whatever comes out in the election. If we can understand each side of the story better than we do now that has to be counted as a victory.

The real question is, after today, will you have your engine fully refuelled to contemplate `Triage - Part Deux`? Or will I have to grin and bear it knowing that AG scared the most vulnerable into voting for him with the same promises he made 8 years ago. The phrase "devil and the deep blue sea" spring to mind.

Since we're on this topic, how do you rate Bruce Cockburn's work? Would working with him be appealing to you artistically and/or politically?

I'm sure I could keep the debate on the road, Scott, I didn't want to just turn up at this forum and shoot my mouth off too quickly. If you've any other thoughts, knock a few over here!

Did anyone see the Saturday Night Live `Presidential Bash`? Finally, if you want to follow the results of the exit polls as they come in you can bookmark Matt Drudge's website. (I use the term `follow` and `results` in the most liberal sense of the words) http://www.drudgereport.com
