Voting counts towards responsible citizenship.

You don't have to vote in every race on the ballot.

You're right about the people who said they have bought and sold cars; they should be aware of the laws.

My son's girlfriend texts constantly at the table and it drives me nuts! She'll barely speak a word even when directed a question, rarely initiates conversation, but on Facebook she's very responsive and I wonder why she's not as charming in person. How will she cope when she gets a job?

The variety is wonderful!

However, he didn't post the blog about VanderSanden until after I posted my original comment, but I guess that's what I get for commenting on a contrarian.

He and Oleson are having fun hand-picking their cronies for the county offices. Just because they're not in the same party, don't think they can't be in cahoots. Maybe that's a little "conspiracy theory"-ish, but it's rumored the republican Treasurer guy Oleson blogged about is a big buddy of Miller. Coincidence?

The Treasurer's office seems to be a more "real world, non government" level ratio. And if the Recorder's office goes away, wouldn't it make sense to have boat and ATV registrations at the Treasurer's office?
