52. Is there no common sense?
In my mind at least, I say we absolutely stop all the machines now, and put a moratorium on them. Then we simply vote on a piece of paper. Done. Then figure it out. Here we are working on the problem while in progress. That's like trying to send a man to the moon while still doing the mathematical calculations for the trajectory! Man, politicians need to have degrees in something REAL, not just big mouths and wallets.

I see this problem as trivial. You don't let them keep stealing if they've already done it three times.

But anyways, I see your point. And I am green. I am naive. And it's probably the nature of the political system that it's so difficult to accomplish goals.

Wow, we really ought to have an office of Common Sense. We start there. People agree that votes should not be allowed to be stolen. Then we work from that. Maybe I'm spouting bs. Maybe it's already that way. It just seems like we're spinning our wheels. Three elections? And look where we are now because of it. Disaster.

Well, it sounds like you are very involved. And busy. I don't expect you to spend much time reading and replying to posts like mine. But I appreciate the insight you've passed on to me. Thanks!
