What do you think about this and have you seen this popular site before?
This was taken from a web site
http://www.afvr.org
How can we safeguard the integrity of each vote? . . .
If you haven't already, you will want to read up on how
the great poet, Edgar Allan Poe, was said to have died.

Supposedly, Poe was going to vote and was stopped by
a group of thugs. These tuff guys had been hired to get
people to vote a certain way. Apparently, Poe would
not give in to their demands, so they killed him.

Fascinating story. Still happens in some places, or so
I've heard. Since we are less than perfect, then we can
easily believe that reforms in voting and other things are
always needed and welcome.

Anyone who tries to tell you differently is suspect. They
most likely have some kind of unscrupulous hidden
agenda!

You want REAL Election Reform???

Try figuring out a way to get EVERYBODY to the
voting booth. People love having the freedom to choose.
But they seldom exercise it, and may well lose it.

Real Election Voting Reform: USE IT or LOSE IT

happy new days and...
starry starry nights!

We all have a lot to learn, "emperor"...
especially *you*...

...and that's "alt.idiot.big-wooden-head" to *you*,
sweatheart. You might have caught me unawares
had you used a worldwide newsgroup as a
"reply-to".
BTW, are you on drugs?
Just metformin and gemfibrozil, and an occasional
baby aspirin. Yourself?

I know what spam _really_ is. The OP posted this in almost every ng
there is. BI >= 20. I'd call that spam. You wouldn't?

Huh?
As you may remember, you changed the newsgroup
"reply to" header to alt.idiot. My server carries just
about all the existing newsgroups, and alt.idiot isn't
on the list. However, alt.idiot.big-wooden-head IS
on the list as a valid UseNet newsgroup...

news:alt.idiot.big-wooden-head

Now, had you used THIS newsgroup instead of just
alt.idiot, my reader wouldn't have caught it, and I
most likely wouldn't have noticed it until later when
my response failed to show up in the newbies groups.

Now, WHY the hell am I telling you this? <g>

Ah, so sorry, I misread you. Yes, of course it is spam.
And I responded because... sometimes spam and the
spammers who shag us are FUN to play with!

It's a lot to learn, yet you seem capable.

need sometimes. You been burned? or just being
careful?
