Jeremiah Harding Here's the deal though, (and the reason why this is truly farcical). Toys don't have rights, but people have the right to have and use toys. This just shows in sharp relief the consequences of giving the State power to do anything but arbit...

Jeremiah Harding Well, they shouldn't be. Absentee ballots don't require I.D., either, and the votes from those are just as valid (which the Electoral Collage makes about not at all). At least we don't use chads anymore, eh?
