It's not the voter ID thing itself that's problem here. It's your weird statement about the EFF. What's actually sad is that so many people such as yourself have this really weird (religious?) idea that Republicans are somehow more righteous and less corrupt than the Democrats. It's a very indirect ad hominom attack. Guilt by association, as if "Democrat" somehow automatically implies bad. Given the last 8 years of Republican rule, I don't see how anyone can continue to make these statements or associations with a straight face. You could logically say--if you could support your arguments with facts--that the values and politics of the EFF follow the values and principles of the Democratic party in general. But to add the part about the EFF wanting to encourage voter fraud just makes you sound silly. It's a logically dissonant statement, unsupported by any evidence on your part. > > -Bryan > > /* > PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net > Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug > Don't fear the penguin. > */ > -- Michael Torrie Assistant CSR, System Administrator Chemistry and Biochemistry Department Brigham Young University Provo, UT 84602 +1.801.422.5771 /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
