PS in email from Iceland says "You suck."

A webmaster in Iceland thinks I suck.

Well, he might be right. But, I hate this crap.



Earlier today I send a nicer, yet still scolding email, to Rev. Ricky Burgess of Pgh City Council. He was able to lead a prayer at the start of today's city council meeting and prayed for "both candidates" for US President. Shame, shame, shame.

See reply in thread comments.

First note from me to them:

Hi,

I'm going to vote for Bob Barr, Libertarian, for President of the USA.

Your ballot stinks. It is like it is a media made, brain dead, slanted
bit of corporate communications.

The Libertarian Party is on the ballot and it should be a part of your efforts.

Most people do NOT vote because they do not feel as if the limited
choices give them a positive vote experience. So, don't make it worse.
More people will vote if the race is fair and if all the options are
presented.

I am certain that Ron Paul would have won such a race if the world was
to vote -- if you did such a thing in the spring for the primary
season.

This a a very valid point that we have talked about, but given the
fact that the world cannot vote, they can not vote for Bob Barr or Ron Paul or any other candidate for that matter.
We all know, that either Obama or McCain will become president. So we
want to see whom they would rather vote for.

p.s. You suck -- if your were more polite, you would probably do better in life!

My reply:

Hi,

Mine is a wake up call to people who knew what they were doing and
still decided by their deeds to do the wrong things.

Life for all will be better when others do not hi-jack votes and that
process that hinges upon fairness. You fumble your responsibility of a
democratic exercise. You choose to take on the effort yourself, fine.
Then you hurt by design by exclusion.

We've got a facist convention just ended. The wake up call to them
isn't getting through. You can be leverage. But, you choose to be
worthless.

Let's not forget that the subject line in your e-mail started with the words: "You [sic] vote sucks...".
