"ELECTILE DYSFUNCTION"--A Documentary
Sunday afternoon, January 15, 2006, 1:30 pm
Plaza Library, 4801 Main, Kansas City, Missouri

With so many problems being exposed, it is clear that
electronic voting machines are posing a grave threat
to the very principles on which our democracy is
based. This entertaining and enlightening film tells
how electronic voting machines are disenfranchising
voters in a new era of electronic Jim Crowism.
Focusing on Florida and Ohio in the Presidential
Election 2004, the film includes prominent computer
scientists, security experts, Congressmen,
celebrities, journalists, voting rights watchdogs,
election officials, and everyday voters.

Following the film, Ben Kjelshus and local computer
professional Chuck Taylor will lead a discussion.
This event is free and open to the public.

evlspwn and I went to at happy hour, so I've had a couple. She's gone to her room now, and I'm watching Frontline.
But, hell yes, I'm celebrating!
edit to add: That wasn't Frontline. But it was good. Now Frontline is on.

9. Oh gawd I just turned it on
I am back at work - but with hillbilly accents.

Such parental support "Why would you want to go back to school and be bored out of your head?"

Oh well, I am sure his local McDonalds has openings.

12. A documentary on two boys in eastern Kentucky.
They both have issues and obstacles, etc. It took six years to make.

13. Maybe because I am a city girl
I am finding it hard to relate.

But yet, I continue watching. Better set the TIVO for tomorrow night's episode. LOL

Oh I have to tell you this - a dumb freeper on that other board just said we were wasting money in the KC school district. Her proof was the "FACT" that the district had built an olympic sized pool for one of the high schools and no olympic swim teams had ever used it.

It gets better - then she claimed that the district couldn't afford to maintain the pool so they had filled it with cement.

:rofl:

You can't make this shit up.

15. So they are my kids
but a few years older.

Can you believe that dumb freeper? I asked her how she figured the school district had done this - did they rip out a wall and hire a fleet of cement trucks to roll in one by one and fill the pool? And where the hell was our local 'Live and Investigative' media while that pool was being filled in?

Then I nailed her ass for saying that blacks were "imprisoned" in the "ghetto". Idiot - ghettos were where the Germans put the Jews in WWII. Can't even debate politics with dumb freepers. They use all the wrong vocabulary!

Those poor imprisoned blacks in the ghetto in KC can't even go swimming at school anymore :cry:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

17. The two major parties do not control our politics.
Corporations do it through them. They own our news media. They buy the advertising. They buy the lobbyists. This is going to be a difficult struggle.
