No, I was responding directly to your post which I quoted and you re-quoted.
You said, literally, that "The writer" whom I quoted, "who wasn't Foxfyre" - so thats the writer of the article you'd posted - "quite correctly pointed out that a Catholic who is not pro life but is against the death penalty is perhaps more inconsistent than would be say an Atheist furthering such opinions."
He did no such thing. You made all that up yourself. Fine - its a valid enough point, actually - you argue it well enough. Its just not one ever made by the writer to whom you attribute it.
And thats kind of ironic considering this conversation started with you calling me "incongruous or dishonest" because I accidentally misattributed a quote.
Meanwhile, I'll join the call for a paper trail from voting machines.
This year for the first time there's discussion about the reliability of voting machines in Holland too - we've been using them in increasing numbers for a succession of elections already, by now the whole country would have voted with them, and nobody ever questioned them. But last month there was a small scandal, as it turned out that a certain brand of the voting machines used did not properly protect the privacy of the vote.
They've been withdrawn for the elections later this month, and so the city of Amsterdam will now have to vote the traditional way, with paper ballots and a red pencil, again. The city has actually had to lease back the ballot boxes, because they'd already sold them last year as collector items...
