SNIP... Forget about the logistic problems. This problem has a simple and perfect solution. Paper voting, paper voting, paper voting -- where we have records of EVERYTHING.

If we go back to the bank comparison, it is beyond dementia that we just sit back and watch our money/votes be stolen from us without even the spark of a fight.

But for this we don't need a spark, we need a conflagration of national rage to DO WHATEVER WE HAVE TO DO to guarantee that 2008 will be the first free and fair election in eight years!

Which means what? Well, when you're fighting for your life and your elected representatives have totally abandoned you (e.g., the Bush sucking up Democratic Congress), than it's time for out of the box, creative apolitical hard ball. No more nicey nice.


If we sit on our thumbs with this one, we're going to be living in a Dictator of the Rich police state forever. The American Dream will be DEAD and we will never, never have a second chance to save our country and the Earth.

This is the big one folks -- the last one. Now or never.
