Comment Re:Secret Ballot? (Score 1) 480

As your employer, I'd like to see your randomly drawn ID, you know, to verify that you really voted during the two hours you were off.

Exactly, thats often how "voting" is managed in puppet "democracies".

I recall a dinner party in 1987 in Jakarta where one of the American oil industry workers described how the "voting" was handled in his office. (Note that I'm not picking on Indonesia here, this is just where my experience lies, and hopefully the system from the dark days of the dictatorship is a thing of the past.)

Is it wrong that I guessed that this guy was a conservative, and I was right?

No, but your sense of smug self-satisfaction is a bit off-putting.

1. Given how bat-shit-insane the American right has become you might want to get used to those to the left being a little smug. But I guess it does suck to have become the political punchline of the western world.

2. Never interrrupt the enemy when they're making a mistake.

Never put anything in email, or text messages, or twitter or random internet forums that could potentially embarrass you or anyone you care about.

Sad that this needs to be pointed out, but clearly it does.

How is the army allowed to do this on american soil...?

How do you provide military radar coverage of domestic airspace without putting military radar installations in domestic territory.

If I throw the word NORAD up in the air will it stick to anything in your general vicinity?

(Seriously, are Americans really that clueless?)

Isn't the army supposed to protect us from foreign threats? This seems like a job for domestic law enforcement.

How do you protect yourselves from foreign threats without a radar system?

Someone is confused and I don't think it's me.
