[Vision2020] Thanks for the Apology Dale!

Dale et. al.

Thanks for the apology.  I did not think I would get one from you.

I don't totally agree or totally disagree with the Colin Shea article about 
voting problems in Bush v. Kerry, because I have not done the research to 
investigate these matters as fully as I would like.  I did think it might stimulate 
discussion.

But I continue to be amazed at how little passion there is among the masses 
to fix all the numerous problems with our voting systems in the USA.  I can 
understand the anti-tax libertarian point of view.  But when it comes to public 
funding of institutions and processes that ensure every citizen has access to 
the vote and that their vote is counted accurately, I can't think of anything 
more deserving.  As important as a defense from external attack is, an internal 
defense against apathy and cynicism towards voting is critical to the health 
of a democratic society.  It is clear there is a lot of apathy and cynicism in 
the USA towards voting.

It does seem though that even the blatant problems with the integrity of our 
voting systems, when pointed out, generates attempts to silence those pointing 
out the problems from those who have gained in the political arena from a 
recent election.

Thus I post an article about possible voting fraud or abuse in the last 
election and I am labeled a "paranoid."

I don't think Colin Shea should be labeled a "paranoid" either.  If you want 
to refute what he asserts regarding voting fraud and/or abuse, do so based on 
facts and logic, not psychoanalytic derogatory labeling.
