Re: New Hampshire disenfranchisement push.

If they have a vested interest in the local politics, why not establish residency there? I've never moved out of state so maybe there's some prohibitive residency issues going on that I'm not aware of, which is why I'm asking questions instead of saying people should get violent. To the best of my ...

Re: New Hampshire disenfranchisement push.

Won't the students be able to vote in their homes states? How can this be considered disenfranchising them? Molyneux and Akhlut have addressed this quite adequately, I believe. If someone lives in State X for the majority of the year and in State Y the rest of the year, most people would call them ...

Re: New Hampshire disenfranchisement push.

If this goes through, the reaction it deserves is violence. It won't get it, but this is nothing short of a bald-faced attempt to disenfranchise a specific voting block because they vote for the other side. Or to put it another way: were the tables turned, these assholes would be howling for "S...

The real test of ethics is that you are consistent when it is hard to be consistent. This is one such case.

That's of cold comfort. I have to say that if I lived in that building, I'd move as quickly as humanly possible. If I owned it, I'd probably torch it as a pest-control measure.

Contact a professional.

Failing that, move out, with or without literally raining hellfire on the building in order to be sure none of them survive.
