Admittedly playing a little catch-up here...
I don't know if Phyllis Kahn's head should roll (she's not my rep and, as such, I
don't know enough about her. Not to mention I won't advocate such draconian measures.
:-) ) However, I must agree with the rest of the sentiment here. It never fails to
amaze me how people can honestly complain that they have to drive in their
climate-controlled cars for MAYBE a whole 10 minutes once a year or two on a day that
they know well in advance is coming. Here we live in a country were just about every
convenience is afforded to most and we gripe. Get out and vote and be happy you don't
live in a country where you have to walk hours to a polling place that might not be
opened or where you'll have your life threatened for voting!
