    I think the news part of this is that they

    And if they dont believe? I personally
    ( as a Christian ) dont think they should be
    going to Church unless/until they believe.

    Note, I make a distinction between accepting
    assistance from the/a Church and "going" to
    Church ( I.E. going to church => believing )

    I agree with you in the main, but you make no
    allowance for learning or making mistakes. Once
    they have decided to decriminalize themselves,
    what options will they have?

  8. Re:Mike Adam's is right. on Democrats May Promise Broadband for All · · Score: 1

    I am sure that there are some churches that act as you describe.

    Not all do that. One example, fits right in with your example above,
    My church had about 20 or so people go down to Tijuana ( we are in
    San Diego ) to build homes for them. Also, when the hurricanes hit
    last year, we had people go into the affected areas to provide
    daycare for the children of the affected families, so they could do
    what they needed to do. We also take up collections above and beyond
    what the church needs internally to give to others. We had special
    collections when the tsunami hit in the pacific, and for a couple of
    other large scale disasters.

    None of this was predicated on being a member of the church.

    I am with you on wishing more would practice "do unto others".

    One argument for supporting a former criminal that decides to come clean.

    If you dont support him/her/it/them, they will have few appealing
    choices other than reverting back to criminal behaviours.

    And federal/state/prison. What does it matter exactly at which
    level it comes from, at least with respect to the taxation situation?

    That was no secret.

    Yes, the windows boot loader was able to load windows.

    Then it was replaced. By GRUB. For whatever reason,
    GRUB had a problem.

    There is nothing remaining for it to fall back on.
    Same as the windows boot loader.

    Is there a bigger potential for fraud with an electronic machine?


    Since you cannot audit the process, the answer seems to be "yes".

    There has always been bvote fraud...


    True. That does not excuse rectifiable problems with successor systems.
    From my reading the vendors of these systems there is no effort to
    close the holes, only "trust us".

    With a punch card I get no reciept...


    And I dont think you will get a receipt with any new systems either.
    Only purpose that I know of for printing the vote is so that meaningfull
    recounts are possible.

    I am sorry that you are tired of Diebold getting whipped. Maybe you
    can convince them not to deserve it.

    Any system will have it's problems. That does not mean we should not
    have a best effort to have as correct and demonstrably correct a system
    as human minds can put together.
