Final (somewhat striking) Thoughts for the Night

Oh, yeah. I got another letter in the Times, this one about the Marysville Teachers strike. It was printed Saturday.

Calpundit talks about unions. My sister is currently a grocery store worker, part of the same union that is striking in California. I find the situation very disturbing after the last 48 days. She finds the fact that the local union's contract is up in May disturbing.

While lots of people are promoting the EFF, I've been fighting the EFF during the teacher's strike.

Speaking of the first EFF, they are fighting for the rights on-line of the people who are trying to stop the use of non-audited voting machines. Apparently, the company that makes the machines keeps shutting down sites that have proof that suggests the company's actions were illegal, and that vote fraud may have occurred in some elections.

I still think anyone who allows a voting machine that doesn't leave a paper trail, physical proof of a vote that can be recounted by hand, is stupid and should not be allowed to be in any position of authority.
