Ralph Nader, the Green Party's presidential nominee, can attest to that. Some have even brought sleeping bags and tents to camp there. The sun is exceptionally hot, and the weather is miserable. Yet everybody is so happy. Smiling people are plentiful.

I met an interesting specimen of a human being the other day. As far as I could gather, this meant that she would literally rather see a yellow dog elected into office than a member of an opposing party. It's apparently considered foolhardy in the sensible practice of one's ostensible democratic rights to vote for the guy you like. Practical folk narrow it down to the two oiliest characters, and then pick the least oily, I guess. I'm being a bit facetious, of course.
