[QUOTE="WhiteChocolate, post: 269943, member: 4374"] +1... plus there's lots of other reasons ingrained into the american psyche that 'we' think are imalleable to our voting process that are simply "rules of order" that have been hammered out by the status-quo over the decades to "manage and marginalize" the populace. (one of my favorite pet-peeves; registering to vote means being tagged for jury duty... personally, i believe it should -at least- be tied to having a driver's license, although i know that places certain restrictions upon 'traffic violation'-involved trials... so, amending that, i'd tie it to simply having a social-security number. 'no opt-outs', if you're a citizen!) all the 'gerrymandering' going on is just icing on the cake for some deeper 'disadvantages of voting when you're working a sub-par minimum-wage job/have a family/other obligations' in this country. voting has all been skewed for a -looooong- time in this country as 'only something more well-to-do people can afford to do.' p.s. not to mention needing to have dismantling the 'electoral college' system long ago (we are long past the 'pony express' days of the election process)... not to mention... the perils of computerized poll-hacking. only way to go... paper ballots; popular vote. ;0 (there, that's -my- only "let's get back to the good ol' days" thing! ;0) Love and Rockets - Ball Of Confusion [MEDIA=youtube]NcfXWtI7ML0[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
