Settle ?? But they make more in profits. (Score 1)

Amazing. The company builds machines to (potentially and most probably in actuality) throw the election; makes huge contributions to the Bush campaign -- and then... because of "potential" problems, they are willing to pay about --- oh, say --- 1/100 to 1/1000 of what they are apt to gain in the next round of election fixing contracts --- Let's see here. I don't think that this is a terribly encouraging news. I confess that I don't recall the exact words but they were something like We will deliver Ohio to the President. Sound familiar? Having corporations win contracts --- cool. Having a family that hobnobs with Arab Shieks. Really cool! Having a company who makes voting machines in a brace-entwined lip-lock kiss ---priceless!!!
