Newport News, Virginia, United States. http://wtkr.com/2017/12/20/election-official-challenges-one-ballot-after-newport-news-va-house-of-delegates-recount-decided-by-one-vote/ After two recounts, the vote for state house of delegates is tied. Apparently every vote does count, legible or not. So now they are planning to choose their representative by a random drawing. Because democracy, right?

There doesn't exist a way of converting individual preferences into a group preference that is paradox free. Plato would have used this conclusion to argue against democracy. I'm not sure what to make of it

I dunno if you guys have been watching alternative news about the farce of a Democratic National Convention, but some serious underhanded tactics have been employed by the establishment against Bernie Sanders supporters. There have been literally riots outside the convention center:- How cute that after Debbie Schultz resigns, she's immediately hired by Hillary LOL Even Bernie Sanders was booed when he endorsed Hillary. America, a country that prides itself so much on freedom and democracy is witnessing serious blatant election fraud and that majority can't e

There's a lot of talk in Muslim communities in general about democracy, its merits and even its supposed Islamic character. But when I look at the situation Muslims face and which the Shi'a face especially in these times, I wonder if perhaps the pursuit of democracy has not caused the Shi'a to break apart into competing factions who do not possess the unity and strength needed to combat terrorist organizations like the United States or to meet the power of the more absolutist regimes in the Arab/Persian Gulf whose activities threaten them.

Half-masting of flags following the death of King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, King of Saudi Arabia Half-masting instructions It is with great regret that we learn of the death of the King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, King of Saudi Arabia.

OK, seeing as someone or some people snitched on me (you know who you are!) I have been ordered by the powers that be to pick a more appropriate profile avatar. However I am finding myself in a somewhat rare situation (yes I know, I know) where I cannot decide on which new SC-friendly avatar to adopt, so I am going for the more democratic option of letting the people decide. Basically, start posting some relatively appropriate avatar suggestions. The ones with the most 'likes', I will humbly accept and adopt as my own. Let's do this! Be kind to me though. I'll give you about an hour or maybe

According to Google, Members of Congress are trying to go after pirates and counterfeiters but SOPA and PIPA are the wrong way to do it. 1. SOPA and PIPA would censor the Web The U.S. government could order the blocking of sites using methods similar to those employed by China. Among other things, search engines could be forced to delete entire websites from their search results. That’s why 41 human rights organizations and 110 prominent law professors have expressed grave concerns about the bills. 2. SOPA and PIPA would be job-killers because they would create a new era of uncertainty for A
