I live in Cincinnati, Ohio located. I think we have a nice bridge of two worlds. We have a paper ballot that we use to mark votes with pen. We take the paper and put it into an electronic machine, which then scans and counts the votes (like a scantron machine). I think it is nice that there is that paper trail for hand counting, but also the speed of electronic means. Strangely enough, it seems that each board of elections in every county could pick the machine of their choice even if it is in within the same state. The country to our north picked an all electronic machine with no paper ballot, so there isn't much in the way of continuity across country lines let alone state lines.
Reminds me of a sociology/communication project where you have to break some sort of social norm. I for one went a different route where I walked around a mall without shoes. The reactions I got from people were priceless! He seems to be doing a similar thing here. Ilegal? No. Annoying to people? Probably. Breaking a social norm? Yes!
DNA methylation seems an interesting property that has been shown to be heritable in some instances (cannot remember citation, study involving desert plants in Arizona or New Mexico, USA), changing the phenotype without the genotype.
In high school, I took Latin. I didn't particularly care for it, I didn't think I was particularly good at it. Obviously, it is not directly useful as languages go. Come college, I was required to take a language. I really did not want to take a language, but I ended up taking German (as a philosophy major, I was recommended German). I didn't really care, I just wanted to get it out of the way. It turns out I had one of the greatest professors I could ever imagine. He opened up my eyes to teaching, brought it alive, and I ended up living in Germany for a year! All because of something I had to take. Sometimes it is the people you meet along the way that change your life, not just the subject matter.

I believe the plant were Black cottonwood trees (Populus trichocarpa). http://www.nature.com/news/tree-s-leaves-genetically-different-from-its-roots-1.11156
