    Isn't this thread about paranoia?

    So WTF are all those morons doing voting for legislation they didn't read?

    As is oft repeated here, ignorance is no excuse.

    He wouldn't have had to waffle if he read the damn legislation he was voting for ;-)

    But Kent Brockman already told us that democracy* doesn't work!!

    * is just two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.

    Yeah, but the inbreeded coefficient would go up so high that far more people would die from sheer stupidity.

    That's the answer I usually get, and yet nobody tells me why it's stupid. Come on, shouldn't I expect more from the Slashdot crowd than the Yahoo crowd?

    I thought those were local, southern Jim Crow laws and not national laws?

    If you really think Saddam and GWB are as bad as each other, let's see some some good stats to back it up. Numbers, baby, numbers.

    One is just an asshole. The other is a fusion-powered flaming asshole.

    And I have a queston: why couldn't Saddam prove he didn't have the WMDs like South Africa did? Every time I ask this question I never get a good answer. But you had a damn good post, so I think you're up to it.

    Mass. has blue laws, too. And NH has road-side, state-run liquor stores all over the border. Thanks for funding our public education, guys!

    It's been my understanding that Washington appointed cabinet officials as early as 1789... I don't think all that much voting went on at the time.

    Also, you can vote for a different Prez if you don't like the FCC. I find the various agencies end up behind each Prez's agenda one way or another.

    Lines of code are just lines of code. It's the license behind them that means free speech or commercial speech, and they have to play by different rules.

    When has anybody in the US ever voted for cabinet members? Aren't those all cabinet-level positions?

    Off-topic

    I'll give you one and two. Number three is easily proved wrong (MoV less than MoE), number four clearly has some good competition (think WWII, Middle Ages), number five isn't a problem in my state, and number six is simply a result of people's choice.

    You don't want to take away choice, do you?

    If someone just dropped a big-ass bomb on me, I don't think I'd rely on a middle man to get my message of "ok, that's enough" to the right people.

    But that's just me, and your mileage may vary.

    Conditional surrender too often leaves too much wriggle room.

    And, if the Japanese were ready to surrender, why did it take two bombs?

    The official method of measurement in the US has been metric for more than 100 years. What's your complaint?
