| bardicverse said: I understand that, Akuma. It makes sense for specific people, but not for everyone to have such ability. It should be used sparingly, like absentee voting. The problem with everything these days is that we always cater to everyone. No one has it rough, and if they do, they get a pity party thrown for them. It is all this catering that makes Americans weak and whiny, expecting everything hand fed to them. Thus why so many people of the past 2 generations - x and y, are having a hard time being successful. They dont desire it enough, and dont wish to work hard enough to earn anything. But I guess as long as Bob the couch potato's feelings aren't hurt, its ok. Off topic, sure, but it ties into this "conveniencing" of America. If you care, you'd get out and vote, and if you couldnt , get an absentee ballot. |
...So you are comparing giving more people the opportunity to vote (which benefits everyone) to welfare and people being lazy? I really see nothing rational in your argument to justify getting rid of early voting.
If McCain dies, what difference does it make. He loses. And if you really think something about Obama is going to surface that he is/was/supports terrorism, you are deluding yourself.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
