I realize that this is totally unrealistic and completely impossible, but I've always thought every ballet should have a "None of the above" option on it.

So when you go to the polls in November, if there's no one running for president that you can support, you could check "None..." and feel good about not having to select the lesser of two really poor choices. I know some people would say, "Don't vote," but that's really not an option is it? I think it's important for everyone to vote even if your vote is technically a vote against the other guy. Not voting should only be an options for someone complete oblivious to the political situation...someone totally ignorant of the issues...who's only concern is who will be the #1 artist on MTV Top 20 countdown this week or what the topic of Dr. Phil's next show will be.

Ideally, I'd want the "None..." votes to be tallied and if None got the majority, then we'd have a new primary, the guys who ran would not be eligible again for 4 years and hopefully we'd end up with someone the majority of people could support.

That's what I was thinking, PSU.

Not even. Razz

Of all Pryor's movie, it's one of my least favorites. I liked Sliver Streak and that one he was in with Jackie Gleason...can't recall the name...better.

Still, a "No confidence" box (basically what a none of the above is) would be great.

Scary thing is if, "none of the above," was an option on the ballot it would probably win by a landslide.

Hard work may pay off eventually but laziness always pays off now.
