What about sedimentation?

I think cumulative voting could work if a voter could apply one vote to each candidate she preferred, rather than having a set number of votes to spread over the candidates. The candidate who accumulated the most votes would win. If you had several identical open positions, the candidates with the most votes could win them (rather than splitting up the positions into separate campaigns.)

It's going to be interesting to see what the effect of generations of cesarean section births will be. Will babies heads become too big for natural births? The percentage of cesarean section births in the US was 31.8% in 2007.

Why hold "sex offense" out as something special? Why not start tracking thieves and murderers as well? I'm assuming information about criminal records is part of the public record anyway, so why do they need special lists and measures for one particular group of convicts and not others? I don't want thieves and murderers in my home or in my neighborhood any more than I want sex offenders. Hey, we could even take the whole criminal record and put it up on Google maps. "Search for: Rapists -children -dogs in 97006" Why not? If they feel a PARTICULAR case calls for further monitoring, they should make it explicitly part of the sentence. Otherwise, best not to apply blanket rules. Soon, they'll be wanting the passwords of drug dealers, "domestic terrorists" and the like.
