[FRIAM] against hysteria in all forms

[Prof David West]

Drugs biggest winner of the election. Every measure in every state/municipality won by at least 5%.

there are silver linings in every cloud.

Other than issues from recounts, especially in Wisconsin, I doubt the courts will have much say in deciding the election.
