Computer Voting Machines Don’t Work?
Conclusion: Use your Paper Ballot.
Why are voting computer so hard to get right?
Computers are being used for banking, FBI data, confidential company information, ect, ect, ect… So why are these voting machines miss-counting votes? I have heard a few different things. Democracy now had an interview with Mark Crispin Miller that was really interesting. He said, "We now see a burst of vote flipping by…, electronic voting machines in a couple of states. This is something that we saw in at least eleven states in the 2004 election, hundreds and hundreds of people coming forward to say, “I pushed the button for Kerry, and the button for Bush lit up.” So, clearly, this was a systematic programming decision by the people in charge of the machines, which in that case and this one is the Republican Party."
Now I bet if you would have voted for Michael A. Peroutka, the Constitutional Party candiate for 2004, there wouldn't have been any problem. More reasons to vote for real change in this country. No more GOB(oys), er… I mean Rebublicans, no more Socalism, er… I mean democrats. Small, responsible government. Now that's something else!
Why do well-meaning laws backfire?
I was sent a nice read from the New York Times Freakonomics section by a friend of mine. So I thought I would share it. Made my brain twist a little bit more about law in our country.
Unintended Consequences
By STEPHEN J. DUBNER and STEVEN D. LEVITT“One year from today, a new president moves into the White House. This president will be eager to carry out any number of plans — including, surely, plans to help the segments of society that most need help. Extending a helping hand, after all, is one of the great privileges and responsibilities of the presidency.
But before charging ahead with such plans, the new president might do well to first ask him- or herself the following question: What do a deaf woman in Los Angeles, a first-century Jewish sandal maker and a red-cockaded woodpecker have in common?”
Genuine National Security
“Foreign aid and resource conservation will protect us more than missiles.”
I was digging through some desktop papers and cleaning up my “pile,” as my wife likes to call it, and found this great article that I had copied out of Utne Reader a while back. It is a well written article on National Security that I like. Tell me what you think after you’ve had a read.
“The real key to homeland security, says Amory Lovins, has nothing to do with regime change in Iraq or destroying Al Qaeda. It’s all about using our resources more efficiently.”
