Our current absolutely loony state congress is doing everything possible to limit access to voting... not allowing students to vote, requiring picture ID... maybe they'll try to switch to the Ohio Primary system next...
Oklahoma is like Ohio. They do their level best to ensure a two party ONLY system.

I have never seen this aspect of being an ' I ' discussed here. Saying ' I ' limits your voice. Its something that is wrong with our system, that we must chose sides in order to vote in certain elections, although it is for national outcomes. It does help perpetuate the two party system, which needs to be scrapped IMO.

But here we are.
Condoms break, get a vasectomy. You're right... I can't vote in the primaries... which is really pretty stupid. I would like to see a weighted ballot, where you can vote for more than one candidate, assigning first and second choice. But seeing as they can barely count the votes as it is, that would probably end up a nightmare. We would need less "Partying" and more parties for it to work. I think Australia does something like this, but they have lots of parties, not just two. Parties were supposed to supply a degree of "checks and balances" to the erection process, but it's just turned into a boxing match of us against them. I'm okay with vasectomies if you are.

True. Just the sheer numbers. You can't possibly kill 'em all. Having a private island would help, but still, look at the masses of people who come here on boats.

I've got 20 acres about an hour from town. I'd need a water well/rain collection, but I doubt there's any gas or oil. Plenty of trees for fuel in a pinch. Right now the biggest problem is lack of rain!

Glad you made the extra effort to clarify that. Indeed, because just like Obama, whatever the nominee's personal beliefs, he or she will have to act and play the part of an evangelical or they will not be nominated, take it to the bank. I do not have to believe, give effort or say anything. Just observe.
