  • Not that it matters, but I was talking about counting filled-in ballots by putting them in stacks of 10 and setting alternate stacks crosswise. Once the polls closed, we did a spot-check at the polling place to ensure we had the expected results – that no one walked out with a ballot and that the machine tally matched a hand count. Hand counts were frequently inaccurate, so two people checked one another and when we found our numbers did not match the machine count, we slowed down and found ourselves in error rather than the machine (which had been fed the ballots slowly over the day rather than in the 1/2 hour we were frantically trying to verify).



  • Okay, so you’re saying would do evil for a big enough pile of money? If you had enough to get along in relative comfort would you still?

    Lots of people who see no other options commit crimes to get money and ‘stuff’, but if we all had a guaranteed income, I wonder which people would be enticed to do evil just to get still more money. The evil wouldn’t be ‘torturing those you love’, but more like letting some company dump lead in the water supply. Personally, I couldn’t allow that for any monetary price.
