Subject: RE: BS: 20% Canadians Flunk Butterfly Ballot
Ebbie, I spent time in the military when there was literally NO way to get a postmark on a document or envelope. That's why the Florida law reads like it does, so that people serving in the military are not disenfranchised by virtue of their service. Thats also why there is a "grace" period following the election for the counting of absentee ballots.
Just because someone is at a listening post somewhere in the boonies of central Asia, doesn't mean that he shouldn't be able to vote and have his vote counted.Anything that circumvents that right is illegal and immoral in my opinion.
I don't mind when someone disagrees with me. Skeptic and I rarely see eye to eye on ANYTHING but we are, nevertheless, very close.
What I do object to is the same old arguments over and over. I have tried to let everyone know where I get much of my information, right down to giving a URL where they can start. No one seems to be interested in any other viewpoint but the one that suits their particular notion of how things are.
If I sound condescending, forgive me. I don't mean to be; it's just so frustrating sometimes.
Thanks for the kind words about the attempt at humor. I think you're cute too.
