I am not sure what your point is in posting all of these articles, unless there is a new law which requires you to show proof of ID while mailing in your absentee ballot.

Yes, there is documented election fraud. How will those new ID laws stop this election fraud? It won't? Then what is the point again?

because this is what I like to do?


Just as Savington rightly feels strongly that one shouldn't have to even pay $0.00000000000000000000001 to poll, I want 100% of the votes to be legitmate.

Fair enough. I forgot about the "cause I'm the admin" reason.

Though for someone who isn't a fan of bigger government, I am having a hard time understanding why you want more laws that won't actually solve any of our current problems.

I was under the impression that the speed limit was 90mph in some areas in west Texas. Maybe I was mistaken and it was only 80?

Just 80. What I am happy about is I45 has been bumped up from 70 to 75 from Houston to Dallas. Actually, many of the major highways have received the bump.

Having a hard time feeling bad about someone who is too lazy/stupid/fucked up to have any sort of ID at al being unable to vote.

Come to think of it, if it were not so flawed in actual practice, a test of cognitive abilities pre-vote would probably be very helpful. If someone cannot handle the processing of say 3 pieces of info into a conclusion within 5 minutes maybe they are too drunk/stupid/dead/ficticious to vote.

I'd like to think my voting is as important as my morning commute. Generally people would take issue with my hoovering down 7 or 8 drinks before driving to work at 117 MPH steering with my knees and without my glasses. They should take issue with me voting in a similar condition as well.

Just saying.

Texas schools punish students who refuse to be tracked with microchips — RT

speaking of voting:

I had a teacher tell me I would not be allowed to vote because I did not have the proper voter ID," Hernandez told WND. "I had my old student ID card which they originally told us would be good for the entire four years we were in school. He said I needed the new ID with the chip in order to vote.

Wow. That's nuts. We had to wear lanyards with our ID's at my highschool and it was the same deal; a lot of kids refused to wear them. I'd feel the same way now, probably even more so; because of the RFID chips.

The irony is probably these same students refusing to be "tracked" go and "check-in" on Facebook 100 times a day, post their location all over Twitter and other websites, etc. These same kids will carry a cell phone with tracking capabilities and even willingly participate in apps that track your location constantly. But at school, they don't want to wear a card with a chip in it because it invades their privacy.

Neither is acceptable, but the camera is an infringement. The chip is not because it's passive and not a tracking device.

Which god?

Is it powered or not? Is it broadcasting a signal? I don't think kids should have it, but these people should go after the cameras first, rather than the passive chip.
