And then of course we have those who claim if we do not endorse an unverifiable system by participating in it we don't have a right to complain. Are you mad? WE have every right to complain when our fellow human beings think they can vote theft plunder and even murder onus and our families through an unverifiable system much less through a verifiable system...

Haha wow you just compared voting to a law. I have voted. And all it was is a waste of gas and time.
You have the right to not vote. But its the law to wear a seatbelt. You know? Click it or ticket?
I am a free American to do whatever the heck I want and all you want is a dictatorship.
You are not the american.

lmao i dont deserve to live here? First off i didnt choose to live here. I was born here. If the only way one deserves to live here is by being a blind fool im glad i dont. The system is a scam to the fullest extent. Its a joke. Its a failed system. The economy is proof the gov is a failed system. Voting does nothing to change that failed system, only further it along. If wanting clear proof that the voting is fair makes me unamerican that heck with it, im not proud to be american anyway. I cnat see why everyone wouldnt want to know for sure its fair. Thats just idiotic. Secondly, no offence? Thats pretty offencive so im sure it was intended. Be a man and say your being offencive. You sir are an ignorant waste of my time and i want nothing to do with your childish comments. Just because i demand the system be proven fair you think you deserve more than i do. I pitty the fool. Get over yourself already. Thank you come again.. Oh and ps, you failed to explain your logic. That link you posted doent offer any reason why it should be law. If anything thats more reason i should have the right to choose if i care enough.edit on 27-8-2012 by BennyTheBlade because: wanted a proper explanation of a past question.

Who even cares if the vote is verified. The people in place are predetermined beforehand anyway. If it was meant to be fair, it wouldn't cost millions to run for office. It would be a nomination and a vote. Simple.
Thats why I vote Dolph Lundgren.
