#2 I am a person of privilege.

Actually, lady, you kinda sound like an...asshole.
I guess "privleged" don't necessarily mean "smart". Probably why it was so easy to pull Ye Olde Invisible Ink Trick on you.

#4 Twenty voters? Gosh, that's significant. What on earth would they have done faced with the butterfly ballots used in Florida in 2004?

#6 Isn't it amazing how Iraqis with limited experience in the process with the aid of soldiers and Marines, were able to do in a very short period of time under far more perilous circumstances that the old political machines back home haven't accomplished in many lifetimes - a clean election.

#7 I guess you tend to appreciate the process more when people are trying to blow you up for participating.

#8 /engage stereotypometer/"gotta ask'how many were blondes?'
/disengage stereotypometer/
personal disclaimer: blonde grand-daughter led astray by her evil uncle who, in response to her comment regarding the apparent non-working white crayon on a white sheet of paper, told her that the batteries were low and go see her mother (his sister) for replacements.
fireworks were priceless!!!

#9 Not to worry, Man cannot cheat fate. At the same time those shenanigans where taking place, bad weather in the states of the opposing candidate was causing havoc! Symmetry, balance, the ying-yang of time and unforeseen occurrence!
