briefly...
i heard on the telli...black friday will now start on thursday-- i wonder what our european relatives think about that..i must put stickers on 2 "day" clocks friday will be held on thursday- and to alleviate confusion thursday will be done on tuesday. next week wednesday will be eliminated entirely. there is no end....already i know.. with the trash... if monday is a holiday, then thursday collection will be friday.
all of it is the design of many people who spend the entire year trying to figure out how to get the world to spend money they don't have on items they don't need. i am as guilty as any... parked next to the antique icebox is a voting machine from florida.. it was on ebay years ago-- for $300 i could not resist- i had to have a look at this hanging chad bit. it has been worth the $300 to see one of the voting irregularities in florida that year. an error of design..
.there is a left side, right side, and in the middle are the holes to punch out making the chads...
on the left -- names of presidential candidates bush, gore, and 4 more
on the right side are another 3 candidates. pat buchannen, davis someone and one more.
people in general don't read alot anyway,
so if gore was teh second one on the list, one might assume to poke the second hole to vote for him.
however the second hole was for top guy on the right side-- the gore chad was the third one.
i have shown this to many people and unless i warn them, they all push teh 2nd chad thinking it for gore
and that is pat's chad.. -- an innocent error of design? could be... however....
i would like to see our voting proceedure "revisited"
i want new rules- you should not have to wait more than 1 hour to vote. why should any section have a 6 hour wait?
and forget the computerization of voting. i want a paper ballot- with all the paper wasted in and around teh gov't don't give me
baloney about save teh trees... and i much prefer the dunk a finger in purple ink method-
all this is because i just sent $50 ( not sdp money.... mine...) to the ones wanting to count some ballots-
-that is not a statement about trump or hillary... my statement is... i want to know--
ever since that hanging chad bit, i have been very suspicious of anyone who says teh voting in the states is perfect.
we don't even know the ways it all could be much less than perfect.
i wanna know...
