[Note2Self] – Voice Recognition + Kids
Remember to turn off voice recognition when yelling at the kids…
[Note2Self] – Follow-up
The voice recognition does not understand the synonym for copulation…
Just says, “please try again”…
I already have two kids…
I just got back from trying to vote in the PA primaries…
As the volunteers were schmoozing my six-year-old daughter, I was asked what Party I was with, to which I said, “I’m unclaimed”, and proceed to look at the map of where to go.
I heard a women behind me say, ‘you need to think quick or you can’t vote’, to which I turned around and said that I am a registered Independent. (Have been since I was 18)
The group of volunteers then told me that during primaries in PA, only registered Democrats and Republicans can vote.
Yes, I had forgotten this little detail of politics, and yes it ticked me off the last time…
So because I have declared my independence of either party, I am segregated because… Why?
“Not good enough”?
“Not clean enough”?
“Not a follower”?
Folks, it was called the Declaration of Independence, that formed our government here is Philadelphia over 234 years ago!
As my daughter and I left, I did have some comments to the volunteers about how this “rule” is just part of the corruption of a two-party system, and that both parties are failing the people, and things need to change.
So much for trying to illustrate to my daughter the importance of voting as a civic duty.
She and I did talk more about it back at the car…
Wonder which “Party” she is going to choose?
