    Voluntary voting ?

    Definitions of Donkey vote on the Web: The term used to describe a ballot paper marked with preferences for candidates without consideration of their policies or abilities. A classic donkey vote is one which records preferences straight down the ballot paper in the same order as the names printed. Usually refers to a ballot paper for a single member election. (See party linear vote) www.elections.act.gov.au/glossary.html In the Australian electoral system, a donkey vote refers to the practice of numbering the boxes on ballot papers sequentially from top to bottom. There are different versions of the phenomenon applicable in the Australian House of Representatives, Australian Senate and in the Australian jurisdictions that use the Hare-Clark system. Donkey votes are typically cast by uninterested or ignorant voters. ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkey_vote

    just to be clear---when Amulte & I are saying "fake", i think we both mean that the picture itself is/is not a photoshoped forgery as to the alien face message, if it is aliens/multi dimensional beings trying to communicate something, i'm damn sure i've met them on K, LSD, salvia & shrooms. i think that as well as their having more ov a presance in the physical world, they are hacking into the psychedelic realm. the fear ov going mad on heavy trips used to be just --" oh dear, if these fractal visions never stop i guess i'd be clinically insane"; now, for me, it's more "who the heck are these entities that are taking over my tripping mind w/their weird Pythonesque head games??"

    "This brave, bitter & barbaric meditation on death, violence, godlessness & the breakdown ov social order in the face ov guerilla capitalism on the streets ov Medellin, Colombia, has the sense to lace it's blood stained themes with wit, intellectual rigour & South American sensuality" sounds like a bit ov a laugh. SBS tonight 22:55. also, don't forget 'Drawn Together', tonight @ 21:00 SBS & if animation is your bag wednesday 05/10/05 @ 22:00 SBS 'Laputa: Castle in the Sky" "Hayao Miyazaki's fantasy adventure was inspired by a passage in Gulliver's Travels (which is not a childrens story but a biting political satire which all anarchists should read ;) Nabraxas )--about a floating castle. " & Aragami on thursday 06/10/05 @ 22:30 SBS "two wounded samurai fleeing the enemy come upon a remote mountain temple" also sounds interesting.

    T--i mean if i look through my post before i actually hit "add reply" & decide i want to add a smiley after the first word, so i put my cursor there & hit the smiley button the smiley comes at the end ov the post rather than where my cursor is. if you are trying to tell me that the old forum software also used to do that, we must agree to disagree; as to other forums, well EBA is down, but i can assure you the poppies.org software lets you put smilies where you want. not that it really matters anyway.

    Voluntary voting ?

    it's undemocratic that voting is compulsory--agree. compulsory voting wouldn't be so bad if you could get out ov it for "moral reasons", just like Jehovahs & Mormons can get out ov it on "religious grounds". There is always the donkey vote. --you're kidding?? that's one ov the main reasons for not having compulsory voting.

    but at least one, i hate to say, pic is faked. you should have clicked on the link mate. there you will find that every little circle has a lingam in its centre EDIT---well, that's annoying. the site seems to have gone down just before i posted, so those pictures wont show up, & you can't visit the site to see them, but take my word for it--the picture is not faked, every little circle has a column ov grass in the middle ov it.
  8. Secret report reveals catalogue of blunders at Sellafield By Geoffrey Lean, Environment Editor Published: 02 October 2005 A devastating "catalogue of dubious practices", including sabotage and safety measures based on "guesswork", at the Sellafield plant treating Britain's most dangerous nuclear waste is revealed in an internal report seen by The Independent on Sunday. The whistleblowing document says that the plant - hitherto thought to be one of the better-run ones at the controversial Cumbrian complex - is "potentially dangerous" and is "becoming difficult to operate properly". One of its section headings reads: "Homer Simpson works at Sellafield". The revelations could not come at a worse time for the Government and the nuclear industry. Tony Blair is pressing for the building of new reactors in Britain, against stiff cabinet opposition, after announcing a review of the issue in his Labour Party conference speech on Tuesday. And on Thursday British Nuclear Fuels (BNFL), which runs Sellafield, decided to try to sell off almost all its remaining business, including the treatment plant. The document is a shocking indictment of the £250m waste vitrification plant (WVP), which binds the most highly radioactive and dangerous waste produced by the nuclear industry in glass so it can be stored and disposed of easily. The whistleblowing, meticulously referenced report, recently compiled by a manager, says the problems at the plant are so great that the Government forced BNFL to call in its major competitor, the French firm Cogema, "to help address serious concerns about how WVP is run". It adds: "BNFL claims its research into the vitrification process proves that the plant is safe and will allow the foreign waste to be returned to its country of origin. Yet BNFL's own research papers and audits show these claims are false." It adds: "The scientific basis for control of the plant relies at best on interpretation and at worst on guesswork" and that "reports from employees on the site reveal a catalogue of dubious practices". It goes on: "The low morale is endemic ... Control cables to vital robotic arms in the WVP have been cut, waste drums that should hold solid glass have been accidentally filled with highly active liquid waste, faults in safety mechanisms are not reported properly, the plant has become driven by production targets so much that it is becoming difficult to operate properly. "Concerns raised at formal quality review committees are referred to secret 'black file' meetings, where no minutes or records are ever made, and no one is held to account. When pushed the senior managers have appeared to rely on arrogance or ... technical jargon to baffle non-experts, including government watchdogs." It reports that over 20 crucibles used to make the highly radioactive glass have split while in use, and that an inspection of drums filled with the radioactive waste three years ago found up to a third were not safe to be returned to customers for disposal. Yesterday the independent nuclear expert John Large said that until now he had thought the plant one of the better run ones at the complex, but that it now appeared to be "yet another management failure". BNFL said last night: "Safety is our number-one priority and all our activities on site are not only monitored by plant management, but overseen by our regulators." It said that though it was "desirable" to avoid its crucibles splitting this presented "no safety concerns", and that over the past two years all but one of its containers had been certified as "returnable". It denied that "secret black-file meetings" took place. http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/environme...ticle316607.ece
