[nfbwatlk] Oregon looks to iPad to makevoting easierforthose with disabilities, The Oregonian, November 7 2011

Yeah ... my ex and I, although of the same political frame of mind,
cancelled each others' votes out regularly, even at NFB conventions. (grin)

I'm not knocking your wish to do as much independently as you can. But was
it worth it to society to spend all that money on voting equipment when very
soon thereafter, damned near all the states went vote-by-mail? Wasn't it a
case of fighting the *last* war (as the French were always accused of)
rather then the present one?

I'm not knocking the policy -- after all, it was NFBW that caused the state
version of the voting access bill to be introduced -- but I think it's fair,
philosophically-speaking, to ask if we didn't demand something we truly
didn't need (unlike, say, access to office equipment or home appliances).

Well, it probably goes back to the beginning years of our 
marriage.  Craig was a dyed in the wool conservative Republican, 
and I was pretty much a Democrat, except for some issues, like 
abortion.  He would give me a bad time as he was marking my 
ballot, telling me that his vote would just cancel mine out, etc.  
I got a little annoyed.  So it just makes for better family 
harmony this way.  (Grin).  Of course, as the years have passed 
by, both of us have gone to somewhere in the middle as we've 
hashed things out.  After saying all that, I like doing something 
on my own that I don't have to ask for help to do, explain ey I 
wnt to do it that way, effc.  (Grin).    Debby
