"Taping" in advance & Conspiracy TheoriesReply
Jonathan,Everything you say is just great, up until your point about computerized lottery drawings. There is no comparison there.People who oppose computerized drawings are NOT the same bunch who think the entire lottery is a conspiracy.

We know that there are many good reasons for completely eliminating computers from the drawings, and keeping traditional mech
