I Have Done My Civic Duty (or is it Disservice…)

While running into a local grocery store to grab a couple of supplies this evening, I had to pause for a moment and wonder if I was in California, rather than Connecticut.

You see, I was stopped heading in by a gentleman looking for signatures on a petition.

It seems that the petitioning has begun in Connecticut to get Nader on the November ballot.

Of course, I signed…not because of any fondness for Nader, but because the folks who write ballot access laws seem to succumb to conflict of interest, and write such pesky legislation so as to maintain the advantages currently enjoyed by the D/R duopoly, and I’d like to do my part to fight against such tyranny.
