sounds like a good idea...except that almost every single election worker is 80 years old. I don't think that they would enjoy working at a root prompt.
also, elections are run by counties and states. not the federal govt. hence, it'll be next to impossible to centralize anything election related.
...at this stage of the game, if there was a revote, then the most powerful office in the world would be decided by someone who can't read instructions.
and why do many convicted felons lose the right to vote?
harry browne believes we should all be responsible for ourselves. most people, unfortunatly, are not responsible enough to either: A)ensure that your skills are high enough and your work ethic great enough to avoid extended job loss or b)save enough money to get through the times when you can't find a new job.
so hey, why not just be lazy, get fired, and eat government cheese until the next job rolls around? welcome to todays' america.
when i die, i should leave my money and property to homeless saps in ghettos instead of my children.
i love socialists. if you're so god damn concerned about bums in ghettos, then why do you live in such a nice house? why aren't you giving all of your extra wealth to charity (that is, if your government hasn't taken it all already)? the minute you drive a car instead of taking the bus or live in a house instead of something one step above poverty, you lose all cred.
ironically, the same people you are accusing of teaching a fear of socialism are unionized trolls.
what you should remember, is that the children are forced to see their socialist teachers go on strike every 4 years. maybe that is where some people develop their hatred of socialists?

so, why is that bad? put some money in your pocket and you'll know.
"The idea of being able to get rich and famous while partying, smoking, drinking and guitar playing, making it as a rebel and becoming a millionaire while giving the finger to the capitalistic society is what drives most rock musicians to be great, you need that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for motivation.

please. before wasting your vote on crooks, do some research and vote for the third party ideology of your choice. it'll make a difference someday.
some (many) of you are communists and, barring the lack of a communist candidate, will vote for nader.
others are pro-freedom and will vote for the libertarian candidate.
at the end of the day, those on slashdot are the ones that i would think are least likely to vote for the generic republican or democrat candidates. there are many other candidates that represent YOUR beliefs.
actually, all the government can do is impose artificial trade barriers. and that would hike the price up further.
so when microsoft moves 100 miles north and is delivering a billion us$ of tax dollars into the canadian coffers, and companies have to pay twice as much for their dumb windows, we know to blame the government.
the government should leave people the fsck alone.

ummm...if you pay 48% of your "good money" in income taxes, then your "lifelong medical care" and "schooling" are FAR from free.
hell, why not just give you're government 100% of your salary and get "free" bread and water, too?
exactly, anonymous.
i'm going to slave away my entire life to build up some wealth, just so the government can give it to poor people.
has anyone noticed that people become socialists after they realize that they will never make any money?

"recommends that government should encourage the use of filtering technology to protect children from the Internet's seedier neighborhoods"
--maybe congress should spend more time protecting children from real-life seedy neighborhoods instead of virtual neighborhoods.
it's not longer "news for nerds".
i guess it's now "news for communists who sometime may have heard of linux".

Yeah, i remember 2 years ago applying for a job that asked for "5+ years of XML experience". Meanwhile, XML wasn't around for 5 years...
