As Heinlein pointed out (correctly IMHO), voting without responsibility for the results is sheer madness. If you're not intelligent enough to understand why you're voting, what and who you're voting for, and accept and shoulder the consequences of your decisions, you shouldn't be allowed to vote. It's like driving: bad decisions can lead to bad consequences for a LOT of people. But in voting the consequences are delayed long enough that people don't make the logical connection.

Personally I'm a big fan of the old Scantron-style systems that some states still use (Minnesota in particular). It's read electronically but still gives you a physical paper record to go back to. But then again some people are too stupid to fill in ovals correctly. Come to think of it, I'm not sure why they should be allowed to vote...

The implication that you may soon have a screaming baby, hasty marriage, miserable couple of years, hate-filled nasty divorce, bitter psychotic children, psycho ex, and ruined life?

Sorry but that's not what I call excitement. That's more like masochism, poor life decisions, and self-loathing. I'll take a robot ANY day over that. And FWIW, I'm married, no kids, and swear if I ever get out of it I will NEVER marry again.
