I'm happily using Akismet, Popular Posts, Similar Posts (the last two require the Post-Plug-in Library), ShareThis, and Twitter Updater, and WP Super Cache over at The Noisy Channel (http://thenoisychannel.com/). I also found WP Easy Uploader to be a convenient way to install them.
In addition to reviewing the history of the electoral process in the US and in other democracies, folks here might consider folks reading up on Arrow's impossibility theorem, which mathematically proves that no voting system can convert the ranked preferences of individuals into a community-wide ranking while also meeting a certain set of reasonable criteria with three or more discrete options to choose from.
Granted, some of Arrow's assumptions can be questioned. And the electoral college system--not to mention the primary / caucus process--is hardly anyone's idea of an optimal expression of popular choice. But, if you're serious about electoral reform, at least read the theory. It's a much harder problem than you might think.
I've been blogging about this for a while at The Noisy Channel, but here is the summary version: enterprises need to accept that there is no free lunch when it comes to making information findable, and enterprise search providers need to make this process as painless as possible. There's blame to go around to all parties.
