Reply #54: you can't force people to be what you want them to be

[pitohui]

in the end, we either believe in democracy or we don't

if we don't, if we really don't trust the voter, then we have to stoop to manipulations to change the outcome

allowing people to vote who don't actually live in a city is indeed cheating

if they blew the levees, why did they blow the 17th street canal and wipe out all the rich white people of lakeview and the city's pretty much entire tax base, i wonder

please, don't let facts bother your comfortable existence somewhere halfway across the continent

sometimes you have to do the right thing and to hell w. the maneuvering, my friend
