5. Ivory Soap is 99 and 44 one-hundredths per cent pure. So...
Edited on Wed Apr-05-06 10:08 PM by bleever


what about that last 56 one-hundredths per cent? Is is rat hairs? Arsenic? Brain-eating fungus?


My point is that a system that might aspire to "99% Uncorruptibility" is pointless because the 1% corruptibility will be exploited to ruin 100% of the election.


Recounts that repeat the "statistics (that) mimic the distortions of the US Senate", and any other so-called protections, are irrelevant unless the final product is a fully transparent and verifiable election.

Which is just what you said, but it felt good for me to say it too.


:thumbsup:
