35 [lbo-talk] Chris is going to California -- rank: 1000

Watch out for the crazy drivers on their cell phones that don't even look when they make turns. Driving here is one of the most dangerous aspects of coming here. Public transit is average but certainly could be much better. What can I say, its an auto culture. Just watch how many single persons are driving huge huge vehicles they don't need but are on some twisted power trip. It is nauseating.

42 [lbo-talk] Did you see The New York Times Magazine? -- rank: 1000

This Sunday's cover story in The New York Times Magazine makes plain the threat: The winner of the 2008 presidential election could be decided by flawed, insecure, and hackable electronic voting machines. Congress is poised to consider a new emergency paper ballots bill next week but we'll have to convince them to act right away. I signed a petition urging local, state, and federal officials to require a paper trail for our votes. Can you join me at the link below? http://pol.moveon.org/pape ...
