Lines in Georgia

socratic at DailyKos reports in from DeKalb County, Georgia. Listen! “I grabbed my Absentee/Early Voting form and a clipboard and started marching back through the line. At the end of the hall, the line doglegged to the right…

… and there was another hall, three times the length of the first or more. Filled with people, with voters, patiently waiting in line. I walked down this hall, took another dog-leg…

… and there was another hall, about the same length as the last, filled with people, filled with voters, patiently waiting in line. I walked down this hall and turned left…

… into a large room still under construction, with a line of people about as long as the last two halls. I took up my place at the end of the line, and started the long walk back to the voting room.”

Words for Acts

Of all the enemies of public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies. From these proceed debt and taxes. And armies, debts and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few...No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.

James Madison, 1795
