There is no such thing as 'positive' discrimination. And when it creeps into life-or-death professions like policing or flying a plane, it stops being merely unjust. It becomes dangerous, says Daniel Fessahaye.

E-voting machines to be used in 2009 despite warnings

By Paul O’Brien, Political Reporter
THE Government intends to use electronic voting machines in local and European elections in 2009, despite recent warnings that they can be manipulated to rig elections.

It's not coming from the people. They don't want it. They don't trust it. That makes in UNDEMOCRATIC.
As a method of facilitating a very limited form of democracy (voting every few years, and having no real voice in between) it's not proven to be reliable, and several machines were comprimised.

So, the logical conclusion is that people in power, are pushing this, to make sure that the little bit of democracy we have is eroded, lest it present a threat to their power.

So, who votes to make the EU a fully fledged state?
Exit polls suggest 30% yes, 70% no,
Machines say 57% yes

A triumph for democracy in the United Federation of Europe.

So, who votes to approve the new EU /UFE constitution

Exit polls suggest
No 65%
Yes 35%

Machines say
YES 63.5%
Another triumph for democracy!

This is not just a dumb FF idea. It's our local gombeens doing what the puppetmasters want them to do, and in complete contempt for the wishes of the electorate.

This story is hilarious, except of course our reprehensible corrupt little regime
are actually trying to sell it to the people of ireland. Problem is they like the idea
of sitting on their fanny's all day getting fat and just pushing buttons.

The luminary Martin Cullen, of the CIB(defunct) and the Aer Lingus Flotation
managed this one. It's like the Renaissance popes again.

(junior cert History- what three crimes was the church accused of in the
Renaissance?)

On another EU note 65% of the italian cabinet tested positive for cocaine and or hash.

Become a politician- it sounds really good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
