Yeah, we ought to just flip a coin and pick one or the other.
Of course if we did that:
A. Al Gore would claim he invented coin flipping.
B. Bush would go to court claiming coins are unfair, the tails side weighs more.
C. Gore would demand we keep flipping till he wins.
D. People would protest claiming coins are too confusing and unfair.
E. 19000 people would forget to read the instructions or ask for help and their coin flips wouldn't count.
F. People would hold the coin up to lamps and try to determine if there are 1, 2, or 3 chads on it. Once this proves confusing, they'll change the rules during the middle of the flipping process.
G. The media will have a field day declaring Gore the winner, WAIT no Bush wins, Gore, Bush, oh heck we don't know.
H. Despite 200 years of the system working well, people will immediately want to ban coin flipping.
I. "Fuzzy coins" would become the new campain catch phrase.
J. We'd invent machines to prevent partisan coin flipping and increase accuracy, but then we'd argue that doing it by hand is really the best way.
K. When we finally decide who wins, the other side will file lawsuits in 4 other states demanding reflips there too.
No flames please, all in good fun.
