Comment Re: Secret Ballot? (Score 1) 480

âLook at Open Town Meetings as an example. It is one of the most democratic and empowering form of governments in practice and it exists without a secret ballot for most matters. Only for elections of individuals to particular offices or for setting salaries do they usually do a secret ballot.â

Since this is the primary purpose of most elections in the U.S., I'm wondering what the frak you are thinking.

  "But for general changes to the bylaws or voting on the overall budget the voting is quite open and anyone with a pen could record your vote."

Much like many cities operate with councils, of towns with selectmen. Again, wtf?

Coming from Maine, I'm familiar with all this. None of it an argument in favor of electronic anything.

I suffer from 'accommodation syndrome', both near- and far-sighted. Joy. I've never had a pair of progressives cost less than $600, and my current set cost $850+. Rimless for the first time.

1. Get the very best technology lenses you can. There are big differe the lensesnces. My current lenses are just OK, but the first set with this shop were painful. Keystoning, headaches, and not the right correction. The shop re-did them no charge. Still some keystoning. It's the lens tech. I will not allow my shop to tell me they are 'the best' again. I'll ask for the specific brand and type. I liked Nikon and Varilux. Kodak not so much, the Hoya lenses I now have are a little disappointing.

2. Get the AR coating. Yes, it's worth it, especially in office.

3. See opthalmologist at least once every two years. I'm very confident in my optometrist, but the M.D. is likely to have a different interest in your refraction. Especially one that doesn't have a frame shop.

4. Ask about the channel depth between your near and distance vision spaces in your lenses. If this is narrow, you will complain.

I'm getting ready to trial single-vision lenses for computer use. And other users have recommendations?
