Re: Voluntary mutual aid associations >>government \"solution\"
No one? So everyone agrees on how to solve to health care crisis (except Jogger I guess)?

This might be your most intellectually dishonest post so far. Just in case you missed it, "I don't care" =/= "I agree" [/ QUOTE ] OK, in that case, you must agree that the results of such elections must not be binding on anyone who does not participate. "You don't care" = "we have license do to whatever to you" is precisely the basis of the tacit consent doctrine. [ QUOTE ] Pointing out your lies (propogated in an effort to tarnish the voting process by implication that candidates' positions are somehow secretive or furtive, of course) isn't nit-picking, it's simply pointing out your lies. As you no doubt can understand, I prefer to highlight your dishonesty early, rather than allow it to metastasize 20+ posts down the line. [/ QUOTE ] Now you're dodging the accusation of dodging the question by nitpicking over the nitpicking accusation. Regardless, many candidates DO have secret positions on all sorts of issues. Add to that the fact that you vote for PEOPLE and not ISSUES, and it's patently obvious that no aggregate vote statistics between Monkey X (with positions A, B, and C) and Monkey Y (with positions D, E, and F) can ever "reveal the preferences" of any particular person on any particular issue. [ QUOTE ] Just as an exercise, see if you can't rewrite your "question" sans the dishonesty and the rhetoric. [/ QUOTE ] What happens if I pick whichever one EXPLICITLY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY translates to "less regulation" but "more regulation" wins anyway? Happy now?
