A reader warns Christians not to be shaken by political storms after the 2000 election. The letter cites biblical prophecy, urges reliance on God, and cautions against fear and manipulation by secular voices. It references Florida ballots and public distrust in politics.
The Gazette states it does not vouch for reader letter accuracy or value opinions. It invites corrections and contradictions from readers with equal opportunity for publication.
Letter writers attack Florida punch card ballots and court involvement in the 2000 presidential recount. They question voter intelligence, cite state certification, and note multiple counts before awarding the victory to George W. Bush.
Cedar Rapids reader Steven L. Holzinger laments the election chaos as Governor Bush and Vice President Gore clash over trust in government and voters. He argues some officials show patriotism despite low turnout and questions the intellect of leadership while praising civil duty and Einstein quote.
Jerry Elsen and I explore the truth behind "the exception proves the rule" and "sell like hot cakes." Ambrose Bierce brutalizes the first saying, noting its absurdity, while the hot cakes phrase hints at changing tastes since the early 1800s as discussed by Morris Dictionary of Words and Phrases and recalled by professors.
