Burrell, I will not that it was basically assembling, not cooking -- she didn't make any of the parts. Not to downplay the deliciousness! Just the barrier to having your own.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
For a day that started with me banging my shin against the base of my bed(guess what? It's dark at 6:30 am) it hasn't been all that bad.

I was listening to NPR while doing errands and fully 10% of FL adult population cannot vote because they are ex-felons and don't have their voting rights restored. You have to apply after you get out of prison to get your voting rights back and your ability to be a lawyer, etc.
What do all of you think about this? Other states give you voting rights after you have served your sentence. I kind of feel that if you have the ability to drive or hold a job, why shouldn't you also be able to vote?
I think voting rights are different from the right to get a gun - the latter right should be limited based on felony status.

This was a big part of Florida swinging to Bush in the 2000 elections. The voter registration rolls were heavily purged. By which I mean, "no black people allowed."

I'm sort of amazed that 1 in 10 adult Floridians has been convicted of a felony. Though I kind of think everybody should be allowed to vote, even people in jail.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I could see it being a big problem in local races, though, if you have a large prison within the district/area.

Yeah, that's kind of bonkers. Even thinking about the reprobates I hung out with in high school, I don't think 10% of people I've ever known have been convicted of a felony. Although maybe. But I hung out with criminals.

Huh, point. Yeah, especially since many officials involved in criminal procedure (sherriffs, prosecutors, judges) are elected in some areas!

The only non-violent things that seem to be felonies are drug possession and burglary. But I suppose those could be heavily pursued locally.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
flea, you hold more expansive rights views than I do. I think if you are in prison, you should not be able to vote. But I must admit, I don't feel that strongly about this. Well reasoned argument could probably get me to change my mind.
Only 2 states allow prisoners to vote currently: I think it is Maine and Vermont. I am not surprised about those hippies in Vermont.
