Lovers of America, beware. Ashcroft disciples, look out. I'm about to say something unpatriotic: America may not be the greatest nation in the world.
As George W. Bush gave his State of the Union address last Tuesday amid plummeting approval ratings, I found myself thinking that among political pundits, the election debacle of 2000 seems to have been all but forgotten. Granted, many of us who had to suffer through interminable government class discussions of judicial review and obscure Florida laws might be glad to see it go. But even as Al Gore removes himself from the spotlight once again, I think it would be a disastrous mistake to leave in place the flawed system that cost him the presidency.
