The Price we pay for using obsolete technology. Now, why didn't somebody mention this type of voting equipment as an issue before the election. Well, because we would have laughed and said somebody was raising a non-issue. The issue would have been dismissed as scare talk. Now, it looks like it will be the number #1 issue for at least the next two years.

I understand completely. Let me tell you something I did this year. I am an active trader. I know a single mom with a 5 year-old boy. She was having trouble making ends meet and was on food stamps and was about to give up and go on welfare. I spent 3 hours a day for two months and trained her to be a trader, then found an investor for her. She is now doing very well as a trader, and the investor is happy, too. The difference in ideology is easy to see. Liberals want her to be "disenfranchised" and pissed off at the raw deal she got in life. They want her to feel like she is a failure and she is "different" or less of a person. They were willing to offer her a reward for giving up! Do I fault the Democrats for food stamps? No. Am I glad she is off food stamps? Yes. Is she happier now than she was before? Easy question. Night and day.
